A mutation in Af4 is predicted to cause cerebellar ataxia and cataracts in the robotic mouse.
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
The robotic mouse is an autosomal dominant mutant that arose from a large-scale chemical mutagenesis program. It has a jerky, ataxic gait and develops adult-onset Purkinje cell loss in the cerebellum in a striking region-specific pattern, as well as cataracts. Genetic and physical mapping of the disease locus led to the identification of a missense mutation in a highly conserved region of Af4, a putative...
