Dab1^scm-2J is a remutation to Dab1^scm. Mice homozygous for the scrambler spontaneous mutation (Dab1^scm) are recognized by an unstable gait and whole-body tremor. The cerebella of 30-day-old scrambler homozygotes are hypoplastic and devoid of folia; however, neither seizures nor abnormal brain wave patterns have been observed. Scrambler is similar to the reeler mutation in phenotype and pathology and, like reeler, probably results from defective neuronal migration.
