Intranuclear Inclusions of Expanded Polyglutamine Protein in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3

TL;DR: It is suggested that intranuclear aggregation of the expanded protein is a unifying feature of CAG/polyglutamine diseases and may be initiated or catalyzed by a glutamine-containing fragment of the disease protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of the SCA7 gene reveals a highly unstable CAG repeat expansion

TL;DR: Gonadal instability in SCA7 is greater than that observed in any of the seven known neuro-degenerative diseases caused by translated CAG repeat expansions, and is markedly associated with paternal transmissions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The FMR-1 protein is cytoplasmic, most abundant in neurons and appears normal in carriers of a fragile X premutation.

TL;DR: Immunohistochemistry shows a cytoplasmic localization of FMR–1, and the highest levels were observed in neurons, while glial cells contain very low levels, in epithelial tissues, and in adult testis, FMR-1 was detected only in spermatogonia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyglutamine expansion as a pathological epitope in Huntington's disease and four dominant cerebellar ataxias

TL;DR: The characterization of a monoclonal antibody is reported that selectively recognizes polyglutamine expansion in the proteins implicated in HD and in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) 1 and 3 and detects specific pathological proteins expected to contain such expansion.
