Linkage studies with the mutant dreher (dr) of the mouse (Mus musculus L.) have shown that it lies in linkage group XIII and that the order of loci is dr–Dh–ln. The recombination between dr and Dh was 22·3 ± 4·1%.

Two previously undescribed pleiotropic effects of the dr gene were observed. The first was a tendency to white spotting in the belt region, and the second an interaction with brachyury (T) such that drdr T+ animals had shorter tails on the average than + dr T +.
