Fine‐structural analysis and connexin expression in the retina of a transgenic model of Huntington's disease
27 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies indicate that the visual system appears more frequently affected in polyglutamine diseases than expected previously. Here, we investigated retinal degenerations in adult transgenic R6/2 mice, a model for Huntington's disease (HD). Light microscopical analysis revealed retinal dystrophy all over the retina, with central areas showing major effects. Electron microscopical analysis showed strong...
