Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations in human ALS2 account for several juvenile recessive motor neuron diseases (MNDs). To understand the molecular basis underlying motor dysfunction in ALS2-linked MNDs, several lines of Als2(-/-) mice with a mixed genetic background were thus far generated, and their phenotypes were thoroughly characterized. However, several phenotypic discrepancies among different Als2-deficient lines...
