How can you use “ataxia” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The product of the Ataxia Telangiectasia gene, the ATM protein kinase [ 9], directly phosphorylates serine 15 of the p53 protein in response to Ionizing Radiation [ 10, 11].
SCA8 , an untranslated transcript implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 8, overlaps the 5' translation and transcription sites of KLHL1 , a gene primarily expressed in the cerebellum [ 12].
It has been reported before that an increased excretion of orotate in sick children may not be uncommon and that a positive allopurinol load test may indicate unrecognized mitochondrial disease, making orotic acid as a potential marker of mitochondrial dysfunction [ 35 ] . A potential link between mitochondrial cytopathies and urea cycle dysfunction has also been suggested by the findings of hypocitrullinemia in patients with neurogenic weakness, ataxia and retinitis pigmentosa (NARP) syndrome (Mendelian Inheritance in Man database *551500) caused by a T8993G mutation in mtDNA that triggers ATPase deficiency [ 36 37 ] . It was hypothesized that the NARP mutation would cause complex V deficiency in the small intestine as well, thus reducing the availability of mitochondrial ATP required for citrulline synthesis.
Although the formation of intranuclear inclusions has not been observed in previous studies of Ras-related GTPases, it is a common feature of several neurodegenerative disorders where abnormal proteins containing poly-Gln tracts are synthesized as a result of CAG codon expansions [ 52 ] . Examples include Huntington's disease (huntingtin) [ 53 54 ] , spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) types 1 and 3 (ataxin-1 and ataxin-3) [ 55 56 ] and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (atrophin-1) [ 57 ] . These poly-Gln protein aggregates typically contain ubiquitin [ 58 ] and members of the Hsp70 chaperone family [ 59 ] , consistent with a proposed pathway for cellular clearance of toxic misfolded proteins.
