Abstract excerpt
Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disease. Mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene have been shown to be the major risk factor for DM, and it is hypothesized that neural degeneration is caused by a "gain of toxic function" of mutant SOD1. In this study, the spinal cord microRNA (miRNA) profiles of DM-affected dogs were investigated to elucidate the...
