Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Late-onset SCA2: 33 CAG repeats are sufficient to cause disease.
- In vivo expansion of trinucleotide repeats yields plasmid and YAC constructs for targeting and transgenesis.
- Genomic organization, chromosome location, and expression analysis of mouse beta-synuclein, a candidate for involvement in neurodegeneration.
- Polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-7 antagonizes CRX function and induces cone-rod dystrophy in a mouse model of SCA7.
- Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd) phenotypes caused by mutations in the axotomy-induced gene, Nna1.
- Polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-7 promotes non-cell-autonomous purkinje cell degeneration and displays proteolytic cleavage in ataxic transgenic mice.
- Polyglutamine and transcription: gene expression changes shared by DRPLA and Huntington's disease mouse models reveal context-independent effects.
- Genomic context drives SCA7 CAG repeat instability, while expressed SCA7 cDNAs are intergenerationally and somatically stable in transgenic mice.
- Polyglutamines placed into context.
- Insights into the molecular basis of polyglutamine neurodegeneration from studies of a spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 mouse model.
- Polyglutamines stop traffic: axonal transport as a common target in neurodegenerative diseases.
- Interference of Crx-dependent transcription by ataxin-7 involves interaction between the glutamine regions and requires the ataxin-7 carboxy-terminal region for nuclear localization.
- Androgen receptor YAC transgenic mice recapitulate SBMA motor neuronopathy and implicate VEGF164 in the motor neuron degeneration.
- Dynamic mutations on the move in Banff.
- Beta-synuclein gene alterations in dementia with Lewy bodies.
