The black pigment mutation of the Mongolian gerbil is inherited as an autosomal recessive and is not linked to the pigment mutation spotted (Sp). Black gerbils have deep glossy black coats, yellow perineal hairs, and small white patches under the chin and across the front feet. The black hairs are pigmented entirely with eumelanin including numerous cortical granules. The similarities between the black gerbil mutant and various black pigment mutations in mice area discussed.
蒙古沙鼠的黑色色素突变以常染色体隐性方式遗传，且与斑点（Sp）色素突变不连锁。黑色沙鼠有深而有光泽的黑色被毛、黄色的会阴毛，以及下巴和前肢处的小白斑。黑色毛发完全由真黑素色素沉着，包括大量的皮质颗粒。文中讨论了黑色沙鼠突变体与小鼠各种黑色色素突变之间的相似之处。
