Abstract

An animal model for Parkinson's disease has a disrupted Mfn2 gene in dopaminergic neurons. The Mfn2 gene disruption results in severe movement disorder attributed to progressive degeneration of the nigrostriatal circuit as found in Parkinson's disease. The animal model having exogenous suppression of the Mfn2 gene in dopaminergic neurons is a suitable animal model for studying Parkinson's disease.
