CAG repeat-binding small molecule improves motor coordination impairment in a mouse model of Dentatorubral–pallidoluysian atrophy

Dentatorubral–pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is a devastating genetic disease presenting myoclonus, epilepsy, ataxia, and dementia. DRPLA is caused by the expansion of a CAG repeat in the ATN1 gene. Aggregation of the polyglutamine-expanded ATN1 protein causes neuro-degeneration of the dentatorubral...
