Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is the second-most common CAG repeat disease, caused by a glutamine-encoding expansion in the ATXN3 protein. SCA3 is characterized by spinocerebellar degeneration leading to progressive motor incoordination and early death. Previous studies suggest that potassium channel dysfunction underlies early abnormalities in cerebellar cortical Purkinje neuron firing in SCA3. However,...
