Comparative analysis of cerebellar gene expression changes occurring in Sca1154Q/2Q and Sca7266Q/5Q knock-in mice; Polyglutamine diseases are inherited neurodegenerative disorders caused by expansion of CAG repeats encoding a glutamine tract in the disease-causing proteins. There are nine disorders...

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. SCA6 is caused by CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in CACNA1A, which encodes Cav2.1, ?1A subunit of P/Q-type calcium channel. However, the pathogenic ...

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is among the progressive neurodegenerative polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases. It is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in an encoded region of the ATXN2 gene giving rise to an expanded polyQ domain in the encoded ATXN2 protein. SCA2 is an autosomal dominant disorder c...

Ataxin 1 (Atxn1) is a protein of unknown function associated with cerebellar neurodegeneration in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1). SCA1 is caused by an expanded polyglutamine within Atxn1 by gain-of-function mechanisms. Lack of Atxn1 in mice triggers motor deficits in the absence of neurodegene...

We set out to investigate whether a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) would be effective in an in vitro model for the neurodegenerative disease Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) and to evaluate safety and surrogate markers of efficacy in a phase I clinical trial in patients. In the neuronal cell model, H...

RNA-Sequencing from human post-mortem Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 patients. This sequencing experiment was carried out to validate that the transcriptional changes of an Ataxin-3 knock-in mouse model (expressing an expansion of 304 CAG/CAAs either heterozygous or homozygous in the murine Ataxin-3 ...
Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA; OMIM 229300), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative mitochondrial disease, is the most prevalent hereditary ataxia. In addition, FRDA patients showed additional non-neurological features such as scoliosis, diabetes and cardiac complications. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,...

Lymphoblast cells from a patient with Freidriech's Ataxia were incubated with pyrrole-imidazole polyamides targeted to the GAA triplet repeat in the intron 1. The polyamides were shown in cell culture to increase levels of endogenous frataxin mRNA. A normal sibling derived lymphoblast cell line wa...
