The resulting homo-polymeric RAN translation products include poly-Ala, poly-Ser, poly-Leu, and poly-Cys peptides that have been detected in brains of Huntington’s disease patients, especially in regions of microglial activation and degenerative apoptotic cell loss, as well as throughout the degenerating cerebellar layers of juvenile-onset Huntington’s disease cases.162. The gene discussed is RAN; the disease is Huntington disease.
