Abstract excerpt
Recent studies provided evidence that chromogranins can interact with mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and that chromogranin B (CgB) may act as a susceptibility gene and modifier of onset in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). To further investigate the role of chromogranins in ALS pathogenesis, we generated SOD1(G37R) mice that over-express CgA under the control of Thy1 promoter. Here, we report that...
