Summary In mice of the new mutation known as short-leg (symbol sl) there are skeletal anomalies of the limbs, and the bones both the fore- and hindlimbs, especially the fibula, are reduced, the tibia is strongly curved, there is a disturbance of the ankle joint, and a distinct brachydactyly. There are no visible bone anomalies in the rest of the skeleton, no disturbances of the viscera, and viability and fertility are normal. The anomaly is inherited as an autosomal recessive with complete penetrance, and is not linked with albinism.
