  • Chapter
Molecular Genetics in Medicine

Abstract

The characteristic feature of neurodegenerative disease is progressive disability due to the death of a particular type of neurone or neuronal systems, the cause of which is usually unknown. Treatment is therefore often empirical and symptomatic.
