The induction of dominant cataract mutations by procarbazine was studied concomitantly with the induction of specific-locus mutations in treated male mice. The most effective dose in the specific-locus test, 600 mg/kg of procarbazine, and a fractionated dose of 5 X 200 mg/kg were used. The frequencies of dominant cataract mutations were higher, but not significantly different from the historical control. The ratio between the number of recovered specific-locus and dominant cataract mutations was in accordance with that found in our experiments with gamma-rays (Ehling et al., 1982; Kratochvilova, 1981) or in experiments with ethylnitrosourea (Favor, 1986). A total of 3 dominant cataract mutations were recovered in the offspring of procarbazine-treated spermatogonial stem cells. Two mutations had complete penetrance while the third exhibited a reduced penetrance of approximately 70%. The viability and fertility of the heterozygotes of all 3 mutations were not affected. Only 1 mutation was shown to be viable as a homozygote.
