2 Urine levels of the polyglutamine ataxin-3 protein are elevated in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3. polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
3 INTRODUCTION: Accumulation of polyglutamine (polyQ) ataxin-3 (ATXN3) contributes to the pathobiology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
4 INTRODUCTION: Accumulation of polyglutamine (polyQ) ataxin-3 (ATXN3) contributes to the pathobiology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
5 INTRODUCTION: Accumulation of polyglutamine (polyQ) ataxin-3 (ATXN3) contributes to the pathobiology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
6 INTRODUCTION: Accumulation of polyglutamine (polyQ) ataxin-3 (ATXN3) contributes to the pathobiology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
7 INTRODUCTION: Accumulation of polyglutamine (polyQ) ataxin-3 (ATXN3) contributes to the pathobiology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
8 INTRODUCTION: Accumulation of polyglutamine (polyQ) ataxin-3 (ATXN3) contributes to the pathobiology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
9 Recently, we showed that polyQ ATXN3 is elevated in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of SCA3 patients, and has the potential to serve as a biological marker for this disease (1). polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
10 Based on these findings, we investigated whether polyQ ATXN3 can also be detected in urine samples from SCA3 patients. polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
11 RESULTS: PolyQ ATXN3 can be detected in the urine of SCA3 patients, but not in urine samples from healthy controls or other forms of ataxia. polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
12 There was a significant statistical association between polyQ ATXN3 levels in urine samples and those in plasma. polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
13 Further, the levels of polyQ ATXN3 urine associated with an earlier age of SCA3 disease onset. polyglutamine ataxin 3 Homo sapiens
