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...

Human Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) gene locus variants have been associated with obesity, diabetes mellitus type 1 and hypertension in genome-wide association studies, while mouse studies showed the knock-out of Atxn2 to lead to obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Intriguingly, the deficiency of ATXN2...

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a neurodegenerative disorder, which is caused by an unstable CAG-repeat expansion in the SCA2 gene, that encodes a polyglutamine tract (polyQ-tract) expansion in ataxin-2 protein (ATXN2). The RNA-binding protein ATXN2 interacts with the poly(A)-binding protein...

RNA-seq of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type2 (SCA2) transgenic mouse lines and age-matched wild-type
Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 (SCA2) is caused by expansion of a polyglutamine encoding triplet repeat in the human ATXN2 gene beyond (CAG)31. This is thought to mediate toxic gain-of-function by protein aggregation, and affect RNA processing, resulting in degenerative processes affecting preferenti...
