The Spinocerebellar Ataxia 34-Causing W246G ELOVL4 Mutation Does Not Alter Cerebellar Neuron Populations in a Rat Model.

Abstract excerpt

Spinocerebellar ataxia 34 (SCA34) is an autosomal dominant disease that arises from point mutations in the fatty acid elongase, Elongation of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids 4 (ELOVL4), which is essential for the synthesis of Very Long Chain-Saturated Fatty Acids (VLC-SFA) and Very Long Chain-Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (VLC-PUFA) (28-34 carbons long). SCA34 is considered a neurodegenerative disease. However, a novel...
