Spinal poly-GA inclusions in a C9orf72 mouse model trigger motor deficits and inflammation without neuron loss
13 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
Translation of the expanded (ggggcc) n repeat in C9orf72 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) causes abundant poly-GA inclusions. To elucidate their role in pathogenesis, we generated transgenic mice expressing codon-modified (GA) 149 conjugated with cyan fluorescent protein (CFP). Transgenic mice progressively developed poly-GA inclusions predominantly in...
