Title:
AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS AND/OR FRONTOTEMPORAL LOBAR DEGENERATION MODEL MOUSE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/180214
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To construct a model mouse that has symptoms similar to human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and/or human frontotemporal lobar degeneration. [Solution] A model mouse having symptoms similar to human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and/or human frontotemporal lobar degeneration can be constructed by inducing a mutation in a vertebrate so that, in at least one allele of vertebrate endogenous TDP-43 gene, the expression of a mutant protein in which alanine corresponding to the amino acid at the 382-position in SEQ ID NO:1 is substituted by tyrosine, or the expression of a mutant protein in which glycine corresponding to the amino acid at the 348-position in SEQ ID NO:1 is substituted by cysteine, is regulated by an endogenous TDP-43 gene promoter.
