Knock in of a hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene induces ALS in rats
Abstract Background The GGGGCC (G4C2) repeat expansion in the human open reading frame 72 on chromosome 9, C9orf72, is the most common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Studies in transgenic mouse models have linked the pathogenic mechanism of G4C2 repeat expansion to RNA foci or the acc...
