- Abstract
- DNA repeat expansion is the mutational mechanism in a number of high-profile genetic diseases such as fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy and Huntington's disease. Since the discovery of this mechanism more than a decade ago many new findings have been reported, and the study of repeat expansion has virtually become a sub-specialty of human molecular genetics.
This special issue of Cytogenetic and Genome Research reviews numerous aspects of nucleotide repeat expansion, mutations, and the proteins affected, including mechanisms of expansion, the molecular basis of repeat-associated disorders, animal models, and clinical insights. Several papers focus on rare and common fragile sites, discussing in detail what is currently known and evaluating their contribution to human disease.
This highly authoritative series of articles written by leading investigators is recommended reading not only to students but also to scientists experienced in human genetics and clinicians dealing with patients suffering from repeat expansion disorders. (literal)
- Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is one of three allelic disorders caused by mutations of CACNA1A gene, coding for the pore-forming subunit of calcium channel type P/Q. SCA6 is associated with small expansions of a CAG repeat at the 3' end of the gene, while point mutations are responsible for its two allelic disorders (Episodic Ataxia type 2 and Familial Hemiplegic Migraine). Genetic, clinical, pathological and pathophysiological data of SCA6 patients are reviewed and compared to those of other SCAs with expanded CAG repeats as well as to those of its allelic channelopathies, with particular reference to Episodic Ataxia type 2. Overall SCA6 appears to share features with both types of disorders, and the question as to whether it belongs to polyglutamine disorders or to channelopathies remains unanswered at present.
