Caption

The Cacng2^stg/Cacng2^stg mice are first recognizable at 14 days of age by their smaller body and slightly ataxic gait. The mutation is named for the abnormal head movements resembling choreiform head tossing that is characteristic of these mice. The behavorial symptoms progressively worsen with age.
