Nucleation of protein aggregation kinetics as a basis for genotype-phenotype correlations in polyglutamine diseases

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Recent studies of inherited neurodegenerative disorders have suggested a linkage between the propensity toward aggregation of mutant protein and disease onset. This is particularly apparent for polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases caused by expansion of CAG-trinucleoti...
