Abstract excerpt
The cerebellar morphological phenotype of the spontaneous neurological mutant mouse dreher (Lmx1a(dr-J)) results from cell fate changes in dorsal midline patterning involving the roof plate and rhombic lip. Positional cloning revealed that the gene Lmx1a, which encodes a LIM homeodomain protein, is mutated in dreher, and is expressed in the developing roof plate and rhombic lip. Loss of Lmx1a causes reduction of...
