Researchers Find New Gene That May be Involved in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy Development
A new gene of unknown function, called FAM135B, is expressed at lower levels in a cellular model of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) and is thought to play a role in supporting spinal motor neurons’ growth and survival, a study found. The study, “Phenotypic and molecular features underlying neurodegeneration of…
