A phenotypically robust model of Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy in <i>Drosophila</i>
2023-03-27
Abstract excerpt
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is an X-linked disorder that affects males who inherit the androgen receptor ( AR ) gene with an abnormal CAG triplet repeat expansion. The resulting protein contains an elongated polyglutamine (polyQ) tract and causes motor neuron degeneration in an androgen-dependent manner. The precise molecular sequelae of SBMA are unclear. To assist with its investigation and the id...
