Characterization of an Expanded Glutamine Repeat Androgen Receptor in a Neuronal Cell Culture System
1 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is an inherited form of lower motor neuron degeneration caused by expansion of a CAG repeat in the androgen receptor (AR) gene. To study the mechanism by which this mutation causes neuronal pathology, we stably transfected a motor neuron hybrid cell line with human AR cDNAs containing either 24 or 65 repeats (AR24 and AR65, respectively). Both forms of receptor were able...
