In addition, the pig has highly homologous AD-related genes (PSEN1, PSEN2) compared with the human (Madsen et al., 2007), shows better neuropathology in the brain compared with rodent models when used as a model for the neurodegenerative Huntington's disease (Li and Li, 2012), and its brain has close anatomical and physiological similarities to the human brain (Jelsing et al., 2005). Here, PSEN1 is linked to juvenile Huntington disease.
