Abstract excerpt
Trinucleotide expansions in the gene for the TATA-binding protein (TBP) have recently been described in cerebellar ataxia associated with dementia, pyramidal tract and basal ganglia symptoms. Expansions above 45 repeat units are commonly considered pathological, causing SCA17. Here, we present a German kindred with four siblings affected by cerebellar ataxia, chorea and dementia. Molecular genetic analysis...
