As the search for reliable biomarkers in neurodegenerative diseases continues, researchers are working to better understand how disease-related proteins can support diagnosis, monitoring, and future treatment development. A newly published study in Movement Disorders investigates polyglutamine-expanded ATXN3 in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3), one of the most common inherited ataxias.

The study, co-authored by Rana Hanna Al-Shaikh, MD, Senior Medical Monitor at P95 Julius Clinical, contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting biomarker research in rare neurological disorders. The findings offer valuable perspectives for researchers and clinicians working to advance the understanding and management of SCA3.
