Age-dependent somatic expansion of the<i>ATXN3</i>CAG repeat in the blood and buccal cell DNA of individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3

2024-03-15

Abstract excerpt

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), a currently untreatable disorder, is caused by the expansion of a genetically unstable polyglutamine-encoding complex CAG repeat in the ATXN3 gene. Longer alleles are generally associated with earlier onset and frequent intergenerational expansions mediate the anticipation observed in this disorder. Somatic expansion of the repeat has also been implicated in disease progressio...
