Abstract excerpt
Staggerer (sg) is an autosomal recessive mutation in mouse that causes severe cerebellar atrophy. In this mutant, the Purkinje cell (PC) number is reduced by about 75% and the remaining Purkinje cells have a reduced dendritic arbor and an ectopic location. Previous analysis of staggerer chimeras has demonstrated that the Purkinje cell phenotypes are all direct consequences of the cell-autonomous action of the...
