The mouse should model human subjects who inherit the IL6R Ala allele. If successful the model will be used in research related to neurodegenerative diseases, asthma, cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Based on our early study, we also propose that ALS patients that inherit the mutation in the IL6 receptor gene may develop ALS that progresses faster and is more severe. This study will investigate specific mechanisms in mouse models.
