Abstract excerpt
The expansion of a trinucleotide cytosine adenine and guanine (CAG) repeat that codes for polyglutamine is a common gene mutation in the family of hereditary neurodegenerative diseases that includes Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA). The presence of ubiquitinated neuronal intranuclear inclusions (NIIs) has been recognized as a neuropathological hallmark of these...
