<scp>C</scp> 9orf72 ablation in mice does not cause motor neuron degeneration or motor deficits
5 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: How hexanucleotide (GGGGCC) repeat expansions in C9ORF72 cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains poorly understood. Both gain- and loss-of-function mechanisms have been proposed. Evidence supporting these mechanisms in vivo is, however, incomplete. Here we determined the effect of C9orf72 loss-of-function in mice. METHODS: We generated and analyzed a conditional C9orf72 knockout mouse model....
