Abstract excerpt
Expansion of repeated sequences in non-coding regions of different genes causes a number of inherited diseases including myotonic dystrophies, Huntington disease-like 2, Fragile X tremor/ataxia syndrome and spinocerebellar ataxia 8, 10, 12, 31. Involvement of an RNA gain-of-function mechanism in pathological case has been described and studied in-depth in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). This inherited...
