Abstract excerpt
<h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by expansion of a CAG repeat in Ataxin-2 ( ATXN2 ) gene. The mutant ATXN2 protein with a polyglutamine tract is known to be toxic and contributes to the SCA2 pathogenesis. <h4>OBJECTIVE</h4> Here we tested the hypothesis that the mutant ATXN2 transcript with an expanded CAG repeat ( expATXN2 ) is also toxic and co...
