Despite normal Reln mRNA levels, Dba1-scm mutants have defective reelin signaling, indicating that disabled-1 acts downstream of reelin.

Scrambler is a mutant mouse lacking a functional DAB1 gene, resulting in reeler-like phenotype.[1] The strain was first described in 1996.[2]


The spontaneous autosomal recessive scrambler mutation on chromosome 4 causes a deficiency of Disabled-1, involved in Reelin signaling (Rice et al 1998; Sweet et al 1996). Dba1-scm homozygous mutants possess a reeler-like phenotype with respect to cell malpositioning in cerebellar cortex, hippocampus, and neocortex (Gonzalez et al 1997; Rice et al 1998; Sheldon et al 1997; Sweet et al 1996; Weiss et al 2003), but intact deep cerebellar nuclei (Chung et al 2007). Analysis of Dba1-scm chimeras indicates that mutant Purkinje cells are not aided by wild-type cells (Yang et al 2002). Purkinje and granule cell degeneration results in ataxia (Goldowitz et al 1997). Despite normal Reln mRNA levels, Dba1-scm mutants have defective reelin signaling, indicating that disabled-1 acts downstream of reelin. Cell ectopias are identical with targeted disruption of Dba1 (Gallagher et al 1998; Howell et al 1997).
