Brief description SETX gene mutations cause an inherited motor neurone disease (MND) known as ALS4. Our current understanding of MND was revolutionized by the discovery that a protein known as TDP-43 is the main component of protein accumulations found in dying human motor neurones. We have generated a unique mouse model of ALS disease that will be useful for research purposes, but may also prove effective for drug testing.
