Abstract excerpt
HOXA1 is a member of the homeobox gene family and is involved in early brain development. In our previous study, we identified novel variants of polyhistidine repeat tract in HOXA1 gene and showed that ectopic expression of expanded variants led to enhanced intranuclear aggregation and accelerated cell death in a time-dependent manner. Here, we further investigate the implications of polyhistidine variants on...
