Beta-agonist stimulation ameliorates the phenotype of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy mice and patient-derived myotubes [PDF]
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by the loss of lower motor neurons. SBMA is caused by expansions of a polyglutamine tract in the gene coding for androgen receptor (AR).

Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy: pathogenesis and clinical management [PDF]
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, or Kennedy's disease, is an X‐linked motor neuron disease caused by polyglutamine repeat expansion in the androgen receptor. The disease is characterised by weakness, atrophy and fasciculations in the limb and bulbar muscles.

The role of ubiquitination in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy. [PDF]
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a neurodegenerative and neuromuscular genetic disease caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine-encoding CAG tract in the androgen receptor (AR) gene. The AR is an important transcriptional regulator of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily; its levels are regulated in many ways including by ubiquitin ...

Clinical Phenotyping and Biomarkers in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy. [PDF]
Background: Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) or Kennedy disease [OMIM: 313200] is a rare X-linked neuromuscular disease. Patients commonly present with muscle cramps, tremors, leg weakness, dysarthria and dysphagia.Methods: We deeply phenotyped and evaluated the possible extent of affected systems in all patients with SBMA in Latvia (n = 5 ...
