The dysmyelinating mouse mutations shiverer (shi) and myelin deficient (shimld).

Abstract excerpt

Shiverer (shi/shi) is an autosomal recessive mouse mutation that produces a shivering phenotype in affected mice. A shivering gait can be seen from a few weeks after birth until their early death, which occurs between 50 and 100 days. The central nervous system of the mutant mouse is hypomyelinated but the peripheral nervous system appears normal. The myelin of the CNS, wherever present, is not well compacted and...
