The gene for mouse myelin basic protein (MBP) was mapped to chromosome 18 by hybridization of cloned MBP probes to DNA from hamster-mouse hybrid cell lines, showing it to be linked to the shiverer mutation which causes abnormal DNS myelination. Genomic blotting experiments show that in the mutants 5 of 6 exons which constitute the wild-type gene were deleted. In shiverer brains the steady state level of transcripts that initiate correctly at the 5'' end of the remaining exon I is reduced 16-fold. These RNA are not spliced correctly and are not efficiency polyadenylated. The partial deletion of the MBP gene may be an important part of the shiverer lesion.
