Abstract excerpt
Polyglutamine expansions, leading to aggregation, have been implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders. The range of repeats observed in normal individuals in most of these diseases is 19-36, whereas mutant proteins carry 40-81 repeats. In one such disorder, spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA1), it has been reported that certain individuals with expanded polyglutamine repeats in the disease range...
