Dysmyelination not demyelination causes neurological symptoms in preweaned mice in a murine model of Cockayne syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease that is associated with mutations in either of two transcription-coupled DNA repair genes, CSA or CSB. Mice with a targeted mutation in the Csb gene (Cs-b(m/m)) exhibit a milder phenotype compared with human patients with mutations in the orthologous CSB gene. Mice mutated in Csb were crossed with mice lacking Xpc (Xp-c(-/-)), the...
