Insights into dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy from a new Drosophila model of disease
5 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is a neurodegenerative disorder that presents with ataxia, dementia and epilepsy. As a member of the polyglutamine family of diseases, DRPLA is caused by abnormal CAG triplet expansion beyond 48 repeats in the protein-coding region of ATROPHIN 1 ( ATN1 ), a transcriptional co-repressor. To better understand DRPLA, we generated new Drosophila lines that can be induced...
