In the mouse, the X-linked recessive mutation scurfy (sO) results in a rapidly fatal
lymphoreticular disease that is characterized by runting, exfoliative dermatitis,
lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, thymic atrophy, and severe anemia (Godfrey et al.
1991a). T cells mediate disease in the scurfy mouse (Godfrey et al. 1991b), with CD4+ CD8-
T lymphocytes being the critical effector cells in disease pathogenesis (Blair et al. 1994).
With both repulsion and coupling crosses (Godfrey et al. 1991a), it had been demonstrated …

With both repulsion and coupling crosses (Godfrey et al. 1991a), it had been demonstrated that the scurfy mutation maps near the centromere of the mouse X Chromosome (Chr) within two centimorgans (cM) of sparse fur (spf), a known point mutation within the ornithine transcarbamylase gene (Otc)(Veres et al. 1987).
