Strain description

This strain is a model mouse for the analysis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10), which is an incurable disease. SCA10 is a dominantly-inherited neurodegenerative disease whose cardinal signs are cerebellar ataxia and epilepsy, and clinical symptoms are rich in diversity. SCA10 is caused by unstable abnormal elongation of ATTCT repeats in intron 9 of ATXN10 gene and it's only hexanucleotide repeat disease for human. This strain is a transgenic mouse expressing 160 ATTCT repeats under the control of murine prion promoter (ref.1).
