Abstract excerpt
The homozygous mutant mouse staggerer (RORa(sg)/RORa(sg)), was initially described as ataxic, due to the presence of massive neurodegeneration in the cerebellum [Science 136 (1962) 610]. The identification of the widely expressed Retinoic acid receptor-related Orphan Receptor, NR1F1 (RORalpha) gene as the site of mutation in the staggerer mouse has led to great progress in understanding the molecular basis of its...
