Abstract excerpt
Human familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with an H46R mutant Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene is characterized by initial muscle weakness and atrophy in the legs and a very long-term clinical course (approximately 15 years). Transgenic mice with this mutation generated in our laboratory occasionally showed aggregates in the anterior horns and axonal degeneration in all white matter sections of the...
