A new autosomal recessive gene in mice is described that produces deficiencies in central nervous system myelin and quaking or trembling of the hindquarters during locomotion. Although both behavioral and central nervous system abnormalities resembled those produced by qk, the new mutation was not an allele of qk. We propose that the new mutation should be labeled myelin deficient (symbol, mld).
本文描述了小鼠中的一种新的常染色体隐性基因，该基因会导致中枢神经系统髓磷脂缺乏，并在运动时出现后肢震颤或颤抖。尽管行为和中枢神经系统异常与qk基因产生的异常相似，但新突变并非qk的等位基因。我们建议将这个新突变标记为髓磷脂缺陷（符号为mld）。
