<i>In vivo</i> <sup>18</sup> F-DOPA PET imaging identifies a dopaminergic deficit in a rat model with a G51D α-synuclein mutation
2022-11-05
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition with several major hallmarks, including loss of substantia nigra neurons, reduction in striatal dopaminergic function, and formation of α-synuclein-rich Lewy bodies. Mutations in SNCA , encoding for α-synuclein, are a known cause of familial PD, and the G51D mutation causes a particularly aggressive form of the condition. CRISPR/Cas9 technology was used t...
