Generation of <i> C9orf72 <sup>h370</sup> </i> mice, an intron 1 humanised <i>C9orf72</i> repeat-expansion knock-in model
2025-02-06
Abstract excerpt
An autosomal dominant GGGGCC repeat expansion in intron 1 of the C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic cause of both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Here, we set out to engineer a gene targeted mouse model harbouring a pathogenic length humanised C9orf72 repeat expansion allele, in order to model pathological mechanisms in a physiological context. In human disease, pathog...
