Progress is reported on the delineation of inborn anemias of the laboratory mouse, carried out by preparation of genetically homogeneous stocks segregating only for anemia-producing genes; by descriptions of each condition at all stages in the life history; by determination of tissue-sites of primary gene action through transplantation and parabiosis experiments; by analysis of reactions of normal and anemic mice to a variety of stressful stimuli, including x-irradiation and hypoxia; and by histological and biochemical study of normal vs. abnormal blood-forming tissue. At present 12 single-gene induced anemias are known in the mouse, plus one with multifactorial inheritance.
