Nonapoptotic neurodegeneration in a transgenic mouse model of Huntington's disease
27 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by personality changes, motor impairment, and subcortical dementia. HD is one of a number of diseases caused by expression of an expanded polyglutamine repeat. We have developed several lines of mice that are transgenic for exon 1 of the HD gene containing an expanded CAG sequence. These mice exhibit a defined neurological...
