Increased apoptosis, p53 up-regulation, and cerebellar neuronal degeneration in repair-deficient Cockayne syndrome mice
17 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare recessive childhood-onset neurodegenerative disease, characterized by a deficiency in the DNA repair pathway of transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair. Mice with a targeted deletion of the CSB gene (Csb-/-) exhibit a much milder ataxic phenotype than human patients. Csb-/- mice that are also deficient in global genomic repair [Csb-/-/xeroderma pigmentosum C (Xpc)-/-] are...
