Comparison Matrix Gene Expression + Recombinase Activity

Homozygotes for a null allele show hyperactivity, altered feeding behavior leading to delayed growth and premature death, and impaired formation of subplate neurons and thalamocortical projections. Homozygotes for another allele lack a corpus callosum and show severe subcortical projection defects.
