Upstream non-AUG initiation and ribosomal −1 frameshifting in ATXN8OS CTA/CTG repeat-associated translation
Abstract Microsatellite repeat expansions contribute to the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative disorders. In spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCA8), abnormal expansion of CTA/CTG repeats in the 3′ untranslated region of the ATXN8OS (ATXN8 Opposite Strand) gene has been implicated in disease pathology. Although the oc...
