"Given the clear implication of ubiquitin pathway genes in retinal development and pathology and the genetic link between cerebellar dysfunction and retinal anomalies in other SCAs (McLaughlin and Dryja, 2002), we aimed to explore the function of ATXN3, whose mutation causes MJD/SCA3, in the retina."

"XREF_BIBR SCA1, SCA2, Machado-Joseph or SCA3, SCA6, SCA7, SCA12, SCA17, and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) are caused by (CAG) n repeat expansions in the ATXN1, ATXN2, ATXN3, CACNA1A, ATXN7, PPP2R2B, TBP, and ATN1 genes, respectively, and all lead to the expansion of a polyglutamine tract in the corresponding proteins."

"XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR Here we evaluate the efficiency of non-allele-specific ASOs targeting human ATXN3 in two complementary transgenic mouse models of SCA3 : the yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) MJD-Q84.2 (Q84) model expressing the full-length human ATXN3 disease gene with 84 CAG repeats, and the cytomegalovirus (CMV) MJD-Q135 (Q135) model expressing a single human ATXN3 isoform from an ATXN3 cDNA with 135 CAG repeats."
