The identification of many of the transcribed genes in man and mouse
is being achieved by large scale sequencing of expressed sequence tags
(ESTs). Attention is now being turned to elucidating gene function and
many laboratories are looking to the mouse as a model system for this
phase of the genome project. Mouse mutants have long been used as a
means of investigating gene function and disease pathogenesis, and
recently, several large mutagenesis programs have been initiated to
fulfill the burgeoning demand of functional genomics research.
Nevertheless, there is a substantial existing mouse mutant resource
that can be used immediately. This review summarizes the available
information about the loci encoding X-linked phenotypic mutants and
variants, including 40 classical mutants and 40 that have arisen from
gene targeting.
