Spasmodic (spd) is a recessive mouse mutation characterized by a prolonged righting reflex, fine motor tremor, leg clasping, and stiffness. Using an intersubspecific backcross that segregatesspd, we placedspdon Chr 11 with the following gene order:Adra-1-3.8 ± 2.1 cM-Pad-1-6.3 ± 2.7-(spd, Anx-6, Csfgm, Glr-1, Il-3, Il-4, Il-5, Sparc)-9.1 ± 2.4-D11 Mit5-2.2 ± 1.5-Asgr-1. This localization eliminated the α1-adrenergic receptor (Adra-1) and the α1and γ2subunits of the GABAAreceptor as candidate genes. Two other promising candidate genes, annexin VI (Anx-6) and a glutamate receptor (Glr-1), were mapped to within 2.1 cM of thespdlocus. Although no recombination was observed betweenspdandAnx-6orGlr-1, no evidence was obtained for a lesion in either gene. The presence of normalAnx-6andGlr-1mRNA transcripts was confirmed by Northern blot analysis,in situhybridization, and DNA sequence analysis. The localization ofAnx-6andGlr-1extends the known synteny homology between human chromosome 5q21-q31 and mouse Chr 11 and reveals the probable chromosomal location of the human counterpart tospd. Synteny homology and phenotypic similarities suggest that spasmodic mice may be a genetic model for the inherited human startle disease, hyperekplexia (STHE).
