Abstract excerpt
The shaker rat carries a naturally occurring mutation leading to progressive ataxia characterized by Purkinje cell (PC) loss. We previously reported on fine-mapping the shaker locus to the long arm of the rat X chromosome. In this work, we sought to identify the mutated gene underlying the shaker phenotype and confirm its identity by functional complementation. We fine-mapped the candidate region and analyzed...
