Journal ArticleDOI

Expanded polyglutamines induce neurodegeneration and trans-neuronal alterations in cerebellum and retina of SCA7 transgenic mice

TL;DR: It is shown that mice overexpressing full-length mutant ataxin-7 either in Purkinje cells or in rod photoreceptors have deficiencies in motor coordination and vision, respectively, suggesting that proteolytic cleavage of mutants and trans-neuronal responses are implicated in the pathogenesis of SCA7.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient ciliogenesis involving Bardet-Biedl syndrome proteins is a fundamental characteristic of adipogenic differentiation

TL;DR: It is shown that a peripheral primary dysfunction of adipogenesis participates to the pathogenesis of obesity in BBS, and adipocytes derived from BBS-patients' dermal fibroblasts in culture exhibit higher propensity for fat accumulation when compared to controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inheritance of the fragile X syndrome: size of the fragile X premutation is a major determinant of the transition to full mutation.

TL;DR: The fragile X mental retardation syndrome is caused by unstable expansion of a CGG repeat and direct detection of the mutations is used to characterise large families who illustrate the wide variation in penetrance which has been observed in different sibships (a feature often called the Sherman paradox).
Journal ArticleDOI

FMRP interferes with the Rac1 pathway and controls actin cytoskeleton dynamics in murine fibroblasts

TL;DR: The molecular mechanism unraveled here points to a role for FMRP in modulation of actin dynamics, which is a key process in morphogenesis of dendritic spines, synaptic structures abnormally developed in Fragile X syndrome patient's brain.
