“…A 20 % reduction in spinal cord DNA content is characteristic of CTAI (8); and in the same animals, we have found a similar average reduction in cross-sectional area of grey matter at the levels examined ( Table 2). However the average area of white matter, at these levels, in trembling litters was reduced by about 30 %, compared with a reduction in total myelin lipids of almost twice that amount (7,8).…”

“…Similarly, the white matter contains a good deal more than myelin sheaths; and myelin lipids are not limited to the white matter, nor are the patterns or proportions constant in abnormal animals. As PATTERSON (7) and PATTERSON and DONE (8) have indicated, estimations of different fractions may yield different but complementary results, as might different histochemical stains; see in this connection DICKERSON and DOBBING (1967), and SWEASEY and PATTERSON (1980). Clearly the results of gross morphometry need to be studied in conjunction with histological, ultrastructural and neurochemical findings in order to build up a multidimensional image of the condition under examination.…”

“…S tigler (1990) arrived at a monogenic model, based on the observed segregation rate being close to the expectation of 0.25. His result was in support of investigations conducted by H upka and H orn (1956), H arding et al (1977) and P atterson and D one (1977). Their results could not be confirmed here, although the observed segregation rates of 0.16 and 0.17 differed substantially from those of the other traits (0.02–0.04).…”

“…Type AIII is similar to the « jimpy mutant in mice and type AIV to the murine leukodystrophy designated « quaking » (DoNe, 1976 b). Neurochemical techniques allow distinguishing the hereditary types from those due to transplacental infections (P A TT ERSON & DONE, 1977). There are also several observations indicating a possible role of the boar in a non-genetic transmission of myoclonia (S TROMBERG , 1975).…”
