Model Genotype |
Hemizygous
|
Mutation |
Conditional deletion of exon 3- 4 of the Mecp2 gene in male mice, using Advillin-creERT2, in dorsal root ganglion and trigeminal somatosensory neurons (primary somatosensory neurons) after administration of tamoxifen to male mice for 5 days starting at P28. Authors state that Mecp2 protein is deleted from 90% of DRG neurons whereas expression in the spinal cord and brain remain normal. |
