Centrosome disorganization in fibroblast cultures derived from R6/2 Huntington's disease (HD) transgenic mice and HD patients
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurological disorder caused by a CAG/polyglutamine repeat expansion. We have previously generated the R6/2 mouse model that expresses exon 1 of the human HD gene containing CAG repeats in excess of 150. These mice develop a progressive neurological phenotype with a rapid onset and progression. We show here that it is impossible to establish fibroblast lines from these...
