Mechanisms Mediating Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy: Investigations into Polyglutamine-Expanded Androgen Receptor Function and Dysfunction

Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA, Kennedy’s disease), a late-onset neuromuscular disorder, is caused by expansion of the polymorphic polyglutamine tract in the androgen receptor (AR). The AR is a ligand-activated transcription factor, but plays roles in other cellular pathways. In SBMA, sele...
