Abstract excerpt
We have previously described the paralogous mouse genes Caspr5-1, -2, and -3 of the neurexin gene family. Here we present the cytogenetic and molecular mapping of a null mutation of Caspr5-2 which was caused by reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 1 and 8 with breakpoints at bands 1E2.1 and 8B2.1, respectively. The translocation disrupts Caspr5-2 between exons 1 and 2 and causes stillbirth or early...
