Ataxia oculomotor apraxia-1 is a neurological disorder that arises from mutations in the gene encoding the protein aprataxin. A recent study demonstrates that aprataxin is critical for the processing of obstructive DNA termini, suggesting a broader role for DNA single-strand break repair in neurodegenerative disease.
动眼性共济失调1型是一种神经障碍疾病,由编码aprataxin蛋白的基因突变引起。最近一项研究表明,aprataxin对于阻塞性DNA末端的处理至关重要,这表明DNA单链断裂修复在神经退行性疾病中可能发挥更广泛的作用。
