Abstract excerpt
Paralytic tremor (pt) in rabbits and shaking pup (shp) in dogs are allelic dysmyelinated mutants of the proteolipid protein (Plp) gene. Both mutations affect the same amino acid, histidine36, which is replaced by glutamine in pt and by proline in shp. Phenotypic expression of these two mutations is very different. Paralytic tremor presents a much milder form of dysmyelination than shaking pup. The number of...
