Abstract excerpt
Spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) (also known as Kennedy's disease) is a motor degenerative disease caused by an amplification of the polyglutamine stretch at the N-terminus of the human androgen receptor (AR). Amplifications larger than 40 glutamine residues are thought to lead to the disease. A characteristic feature of this disease is a ligand-dependent misfolding and aggregation of the mutant receptor...
