RNA-seq of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type2 (SCA2) transgenic mouse lines and age-matched wild-type
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is among the progressive neurodegenerative polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases. It is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in an encoded region of the ATXN2 gene giving rise to an expanded polyQ domain in the encoded ATXN2 protein. SCA2 is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by symptoms resulting from neurodegeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells. To molecularly characterize SCA2 disease progression, we analyzed RNA-sequencing data produced using the cerebella of ATXN2Q127 mice collected at three distinct time points. The ATXN2Q127 mouse model contains 127 CAG repeats in the full-length ATXN2 cDNA under the control of the PC targeted Pcp2 promoter.
