Expansion of DNA Leads to Production of Toxic Protein in Patients of Common Neurodegenerative Disorder
The production of an abnormal protein that is toxic to neurons in patients with neurodegenerative disorder known as Fragile X-associated Tremor syndrome is due to an expansion of DNA, a new study reveals. The findings, which are reported online April 18 in the Cell Press journal iNeuron/i, suggest an unexpected process by which DNA expansions might lead to neurodegenerative diseases-including Huntington's disease and ALS.
