The quest towards understanding the molecular pathogenesis of triplet repeat disorders: Huntingtons Disease and Fragile X-Associated Tremor and Ataxia Syndrome

2020-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Trinucleotide repeat disorders encompass a group of neurological diseases driven by unstable repeat expansions. Huntingtons disease (HD) is characterized by chorea and brain atrophy. The normal huntingtin protein contains 6-34 CAG repeats; however, upon a threshold effect of >36 repeats, the huntingtin protein acquires toxic mechanisms that are harmful to the cell. Fragile X-Associated Tremor and Ataxia (FXTAS) is...
