Repeat-associated non-AUG translation in neuromuscular diseases: mechanisms and therapeutic insights
7 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
Expanded short tandem repeats cause more than 50 monogenic diseases, which are mostly neuromuscular diseases. In the non-coding repeat expansion diseases, in which the expanded repeat sequence is located outside of the coding region, the toxicity of the transcribed repeat-containing RNAs had been the focus of research. However, recent studies have revealed that repeat RNAs can be translated into repeat...
