Ho15J: a new hotfoot allele in a hot spot in the gene encoding the delta2 glutamate receptor.

Abstract excerpt

Hotfoot, a recessive mouse mutation characterized by ataxia and jerky movements of the hindlimbs, is caused by various mutations in the gene (Grid2) encoding the delta2 glutamate receptor (GluRdelta2). So far, at least 20 alleles, arising either spontaneously or through the random insertion of transgenes, have been described. Interestingly, most hotfoot mutants have deletions of one or more exons coding for...
