Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold>Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3/Machado-Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD) is a progressive autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by abnormal CAG repeats in exon 10 of <italic>ATXN3</italic>. The accumulation of the mutant ataxin3 proteins carrying polyglutamine (polyQ) lead to selective degeneration of neurons. Therapeutic strategies were used to inhibit muta...
