    Abstract

    The reeler Albany2 mutation (Reln(rl-Alb2) in the mouse is an allele of reeler isolated during a chlorambucil mutagenesis screen. Homozygous animals had drastically reduced concentrations of reelin mRNA, in which an 85-nt exon was absent. At the genomic level, the mutation was shown to be due to an intracisternal A-particle insertion leading to exon skipping. This appears to be the first observation of retrotransposon insertion during chlorambucil mutagenesis.
