Generation of G51D and 3D mice reveals decreased α-synuclein tetramer-monomer ratios promote Parkinson’s disease phenotypes

Abstract Mutations in the α-Synuclein (αS) gene promote αS monomer aggregation that causes neurodegeneration in familial Parkinson’s disease (fPD). However, most mouse models expressing single-mutant αS transgenes develop neuronal aggregates very slowly, and few have dopaminergic cell loss, both key...
