Regional Fluctuation in the Functional Consequence of LINE-1 Insertion in the Mitf Gene: The Black Spotting Phenotype Arisen from the Mitf(mi-bw) Mouse Lacking Melanocytes

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (Mitf) is a key regulator for differentiation of melanoblasts, precursors to melanocytes. The mouse homozygous for the black-eyed white (Mitf(mi-bw)) allele is characterized by the white-coat color and deafness with black eyes due to the lack of melanoc...
