Harelip in the House Mouse II. Mendelian Units Concerned with Harelip and Application of the Data to the Human Harelip Problem.

H E results described in the previous paper and those to be presented T in this paper leave no doubt that there must be more than one gene concerned with harelip expression. Whether one of these genes is necessary for any harelip expression and the others merely modifiers is not immediately apparent. When dealing with characters which are inherited in an irregular fashion it is important to try...
