A gene‐targeted mouse model for chorea‐acanthocytosis

Abstract excerpt

Chorea-acanthocytosis (CHAC) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder with autosomal recessive transmission, in which selective degeneration of striatum has been reported in brain pathology. Clinically, CHAC shows Huntington's disease-like neuropsychiatric symptoms and red blood cell acanthocytosis. Recently, we identified the gene, CHAC, encoding a novel protein, chorein, in which a deletion mutation was found...
