Generation Of Mice Carrying A Genomic Alteration In The Polg Gene That Leads To Accelerated Aging
WARF: P04229US
Inventors: Tomas Prolla, Gregory Kujoth
The Invention
A mouse model for mammalian aging is disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention comprises a mouse having a genomic mutation in the exonuclease domain II (ExoII) of a mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma (PolG) gene, wherein the mutation leads to high levels of mutations in polymerase mtDNA.
