Rowlett Nude
Rowlett Nude, rnu/rnu
Two copies of the recessive Rowlett Nude
Other name: Winged-helix Nude
Chromosome: 10
RVG description:
Whiskers are present but bent. Short hairs are found on the head, and to a lesser extent on the rest of the body. From age 2 to 6 weeks the skin may seem covered with brownish scaly flakes, rats later become smooth and hairless. Later, rats may grow a covering of hair and lose it again.
The congenital absence of the thymus results in a severely deficient cell-mediated branch of the immune system and this is a variety that is not suited as a pet in the fancy.
