Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive paralytic disorder caused by motor neuron degeneration. A similar disease phenotype is observed in mice overexpressing a mutant human hSOD1 gene (G93A, 1Gurd(1)). Mice transgenic for lacI (Big Blue) and human mutant (1Gurd(1), Mut hSOD1) or wild type (2Gur, Wt hSOD1) SOD1 genes were used to examine spontaneous mutation, oxidative DNA damage, and...
