Rat neurological disease creeping is caused by a mutation in the reelin gene.

Abstract excerpt

Reelin (Reln) is an extracellular matrix protein secreted from distinct neuronal populations and controls neural cell positioning during brain development. Alterations of human RELN have been reported in two pedigrees with an autosomal recessive lissencephaly. Although several alleles of the mouse reeler mutation were identified as disruptions of Reln, there is no other animal model with a confirmed mutation in...
