Loss of β-III Spectrin Leads to Purkinje Cell Dysfunction Recapitulating the Behavior and Neuropathology of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 5 in Humans

6 Apr 2010

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in SPTBN2, the gene encoding beta-III spectrin, cause spinocerebellar ataxia type 5 in humans (SCA5), a neurodegenerative disorder resulting in loss of motor coordination. How these mutations give rise to progressive ataxia and what the precise role beta-III spectrin plays in normal cerebellar physiology are unknown. We developed a mouse lacking full-length beta-III spectrin and found that homozygous...
