(A) qRT-PCR shows increased GABT4 RNA in frontal lobe autopsy tissue from adult SCA8 (n = 3) and control fetal (n = 1) tissue. * = significant difference (p<0.01). (B) Protein blot showing up-regulation of GABT4 in SCA8 and fetal frontal lobe vs. DM1 and Control with GAPDH as loading control. (C) RT-PCR of GABT4 shows a shift favoring exon 7 inclusion transcripts in SCA8 and control fetal frontal lobe tissue vs. adult control and DM1.
