Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative Polyglutamine (polyQ) disease, caused by a cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) repeat expansion in the ATXN3 gene, resulting in an expanded polyQ tract in the Ataxin-3 protein. Although the principal genetic determinant of the age at onset (AAO) in polyQ diseases is the expanded CAG repeat length, variability in AAO has been explained only...
