Cystatin B-deficient mice have increased expression of apoptosis and glial activation genes

Abstract excerpt

Loss-of-function mutations in the cystatin B (Cstb) gene cause a neurological disorder known as Unverricht-Lundborg disease (EPM1) in human patients. Mice that lack Cstb provide a mammalian model for EPM1 by displaying progressive ataxia and myoclonic seizures. We analyzed RNAs from brains of Cstb-deficient mice by using modified differential display, oligonucleotide microarray hybridization and quantitative...
