Disease_model_descriptionTransgenic expression of human Tau-337M (the 1N4R isoform of human tau with the 337M FTDP-17 mutation) in C. elegans results in movement defects, GABAergic neuronal degeneration and tau aggregation; in the strain CK1352, reduction of dopamine signaling through a mutation in both of the worm dopamine D2 receptor-like genes, dop-2(vs105) and dop-3(vs106) results in significant protection against tau induced movement defects and reduction in tau aggregation.
