WebAbstract. Huntington's disease (HD) (OMIM 143100) is caused by an expanded CAG repeat tract in the HTT gene. The inherited CAG length is known to expand further in somatic and germline cells in HD subjects. Age at onset of the disease is inversely correlated with the inherited CAG length, but is further modulated by a series of genetic ... In 1991, the cause of Kennedy’s disease was shown to be a CAG expansion in the androgen receptor (AR) gene [10]. Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a slow progressive neuromuscular disorder in which the lower motor neurons and muscles degenerate. SBMA is X-linked and therefore mainly … See more In 1993, the cause of Huntington’s disease was found to be a CAG expansion in exon 1 of the huntingtin gene (HTT) [12]. The disease protein contains a polyglutamine expansion in the N … See more The genetic cause of Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) was reported in 1993 [16]. SCA1 is an autosomal-dominant disorder … See more Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) serves as an exciting example of the rapid progress made in therapeutics. In FRDA, the GAA.TTC triplet repeat sequence results in transcriptional silencing of the frataxin gene [20]. Frataxin is … See more Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), is caused by a polyQ expansion in the ataxin-3 protein [18].

Web(50,209). The cause of polyQ diseases is the expansion of trinucleotide cytosine–adenine–guanine (CAG) repeats encoding a polyQ tract in the coding region of causative genes. During protein synthesis, the expanded CAG repeats are translated into a series of uninterrupted glutamine residues forming a polyQ tract, and the accumulation of WebSep 15, 2024 · Each gene affected by trinucleotide repeat expansion has a different number of repeats that constitutes the normal threshold and the number that results in manifestation of disease. The trinucleotide repeat disorders are divided into three categories determined by the type of repeat. The most common repeat is the triplet CAG … tsb eastbourne
