Fig. 1. Pcm heterozygotes are characterized by external ruddiness and
transient polycythemia mapping to proximal chromosome 1. (A) Ears and hindpaws
show increased redness in 7-week-old heterozygous mice, particularly in
vasculature (arrowheads). (B) Microcapillary hematocrits measured at several
postnatal timepoints demonstrate transient polycythemia in Pcm/+
mice, and a transient anemia in Pcm/Pcm mice. Asterisk,
P<0.001 for mutant classes when compared with wild-type mice per
timepoint. (C) Pcm critical region. Phenotype co-segregates with
microsatellite marker D1Mit236; n represents ratio of Pcm/+
mutant progeny (Hct > 55%) retaining heterozygosity for parental alleles
(101/HeH) of markers. Physical map position (Mb) as per the Sanger Centre
mouse genome assembly (NCBI Build 30).
