Transgenic Mice Harboring a Full-Length Human Mutant DRPLA Gene Exhibit Age-Dependent Intergenerational and Somatic Instabilities of CAG repeats Comparable with Those in DRPLA patients

Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is one among an increasing number of hereditary neurodegenerative diseases determined as being caused by unstable expansion of CAG repeats coding for polyglutamine stretches. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying CAG repeat instability, we es...
