We report here the occurrence of a new spontaneous mutation at the tufted locus present within the crossover-suppressed region of the complete t haplotype fwLub1 This new tufted allele shows complete expressivity of the tufted phenotype without any apparent effect on viability or reproduction. The presence of a tufted mutation within a t haplotype that is cytologically marked by a Robertsonian translocation is particularly useful in genetic experiments aimed at understanding the structure and function of t haplotypes.
