With the discovery of the increasing number of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that are believed to be involved in spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCA8) and Huntington disease (HD), we wonder whether the lncRNAs are differentially expressed in the SCA3/MJD patients compared to the nonpatients. The gene discussed is ATXN3; the disease is Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3.
