Ethidium Bromide Modifies The Agarose Electrophoretic Mobility of CAG•CTG Alternative DNA Structures Generated by PCR

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
The abnormal expansion of unstable simple sequence DNA repeats can cause human disease through a variety of mechanisms, including gene loss-of-function, toxic gain-of-function of the encoded protein and toxicity of the repeat-containing RNA transcript ...

Cerebellum-enriched protein INPP5A contributes to selective neuropathology in mouse model of spinocerebellar ataxias type 17

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
It is not yet clear how ubiquitously-expressed proteins can cause the selective degeneration of particular populations of neurons, such as in spinocerebellar ataxia type 17, SCA17, which results from a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the ...

Twisting right to left: A…A mismatch in a CAG trinucleotide repeat overexpansion provokes left-handed Z-DNA conformation.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2015
Conformational polymorphism of DNA is a major causative factor behind several incurable trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders that arise from overexpansion of trinucleotide repeats located in coding/non-coding regions of specific genes.

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line from a patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3): HIHCNi002-A

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2018
A skin biopsy of a patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3, also known as Machado-Joseph disease (MJD)) caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the ATXN3 gene, was used to generate an induced pluripotent stem cell line, HIHCNi002-A ...

A Single Common Assay for Robust and Rapid Fragile X Mental Retardation Syndrome Screening From Dried Blood Spots

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
Background:FMR1 CGG trinucleotide repeat hyper-expansions are observed in 99% of individuals with fragile X mental retardation syndrome (FXS). We evaluated the reliability of a rapid single-step gender-neutral molecular screen for FXS when performed on ...

The Role of the Immune System in Triplet Repeat Expansion Diseases

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2015
Trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders (TREDs) are a group of dominantly inherited neurological diseases caused by the expansion of unstable repeats in specific regions of the associated genes.
