Abstract excerpt
Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a congenital inflammatory disorder accompanied by overactivated type I IFN signaling and encephalopathy with leukodystrophy and intracranial calcification. To date, none of the mouse models carrying an AGS-causative mutation has mimicked such brain pathology. Here, we established a mutant mouse model carrying a K948N point mutation, corresponding to an AGS-causative K999N...
