“…Notably, Ataxia-ocular motor apraxia 1 [39], SCA with axonal neuropathy 1 [40], and Ataxia-ocular motor apraxia 4 [41], occur due to mutations in APTX, TDP1 and PNKP, respectively. These genes synthesize end-processing enzymes pivotal to SSB repair, and also play an important role in the repair of DSB by the nonhomologous end joining pathway [31,42,43]. Similarly, in TNR disorders such as SCAs, DNA repair regulation is an essential process to maintain integrity of expansions in replication and translation [21,44].…”
