Abstract excerpt
CAG repeat expansions with loss of CAT interruptions in the coding region of the ataxin-1 gene are associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1). For molecular genetic diagnosis it is necessary to define the limits of normal and pathological size ranges. In most studies, normal alleles as measured by PCR range from 6-39 units with interruptions of 1-3 CAT trinucleotides that are thought to be involved in...
