Abstract excerpt
Cu/Zn SOD1(G93A) transgenic mice develop phenotypical hallmarks of ALS and serve therefore as an established model to study the molecular mechanisms underlying this disease. Recent reports demonstrate that mutations in the motor protein dynein in Legs at odd angles (Loa) and Cramping (Cra1) mice lead to similar but milder phenotypes. Surprisingly, double transgenic mice (Loa/SOD1(G93A)) have been recently shown...
