“…SCA37 is genetically caused by an insertion of expanded ATTTC repeats within polymorphic ATTTT repeats in the 5′ untranslated region of the Reelin adapter protein disabled-1 ( DAB1 ) gene, , whereas FAME1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 show a linkage with expansions of endogenous ATTTT repeats and inserted ATTTC repeats in the sterile alpha motif domain containing 12 ( SAMD12 ) gene, ,− StAR-related lipid transfer domain containing 7 ( STARD7 ) gene, membrane-associated ring-CH-type finger 6 ( MARCH6 ) gene, YEATS domain containing 2 ( YEATS2 ) gene, trinucleotide repeat containing adaptor 6A ( TNRC6A ) gene, and rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 ( RAPGEF2 ) gene, , respectively. The pathogenic alleles of SCA37 and FAME1 are unstable through transmission. , Remarkably, the length of ATTTC repeats in SCA37, FAME1 and FAME3 show an inverse correlation with the age of onset. ,, SCA37 and FAMEs remain incurable, and an understanding of the molecular mechanism of their genetic instability may facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies.…”
