摘要

The present application describes non-human mamals, especially mice, which carry a conditional mutation in the survival motor neuron gene (SMN gene), said mutation enabling a tissue-specific expression pattern of a mutated SMN protein. A preferred mutation is in the exon 7 which enables the expression of a SMN protein having a truncated C-terminal end (SMNΔC15). These animals provide models for study of degenerative processes and in particular for the study of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) or other neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SLA) or muscular myopathies including dystrophies. In addition to the animal models, the application provides means for the design of therapeutic strategies including for the evaluation of substances that may interact with deficiencies related to the mutation of the SMN gene.
