## Abstract The mouse is the predominant animal model to study the effect of gene manipulations. Imaging techniques to define functional effects on the heart caused by genomic alterations are becoming increasingly routine in mice, yet methods for in vivo investigation of metabolic phenotypes in the

## Abstract Huntington disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant disorder in which degeneration of mediumโsized spiny striatal neurons occurs. The HD gene and the protein it encodes, huntingtin, have been identified but their functions remain unknown. Transgenic mouse models for HD have been developed
Novel gene technologies have allowed us to manipulate the genetic balance of candidate molecules in mice in a controllable manner. Homologous or site-speciยฎc recombination in embryonic stem cells allows us to study the consequences of deยฎciencies, mutations, and conditional or tissue-speciยฎc express
