Summary

The phenotypic effects of combiningSd andun withvt (vestigial tail) are not grossly distinguishable from the effects ofvt alone. On the other hand, mice of the genotypeT/+, vt/vt are tailless and, on a given genetic background, both sexes regularly-show abnormalities of the urogenital and alimentary systems externally recognizable by imperforate anus.
