Genetic variation in neurodegenerative diseases and its accessibility in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract Background Neurodegenerative diseases (NGDs) such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are debilitating and largely untreatable conditions strongly linked to age. The clinical, neuropathological, and genetic components of NGDs indicate that neurodegeneration is a complex trait determined by multi...
