Abstract excerpt
Coilin is the main component of Cajal body (CB), a membraneless organelle that is involved in the biogenesis of ribonucleoproteins and telomerase, cell cycle, and cell growth. The disruption of CBs is linked to neurodegenerative diseases and potentially cancers. The coilin gene (COIL) contains two nonsynonymous SNPs: rs116022828 (E121K) and rs61731978 (V145I). Here, we investigated for the first time the...
