Genetics of neurodegenerative diseases: insights from high-throughput resequencing
15 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
During the past three decades, we have witnessed remarkable advances in our understanding of the molecular etiologies of hereditary neurodegenerative diseases, which have been accomplished by 'positional cloning' strategies. The discoveries of the causative genes for hereditary neurodegenerative diseases accelerated not only the studies on the pathophysiologic mechanisms of diseases, but also the studies for the...
