Abstract excerpt
Cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) is a recessively inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by intronic biallelic, nonreference CCCTT/AAGGG repeat expansions within RFC1. To investigate how these repeats cause disease, we generated patient induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons (iNeurons). CCCTT/AAGGG repeat expansions do not alter neuronal RFC1 splicing,...
