Analysis of the ϵ‐sarcoglycan gene in familial and sporadic myoclonus‐dystonia: Evidence for genetic heterogeneity
23 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
The epsilon-sarcoglycan gene (SGCE) on human chromosome 7q21 has been reported to be a major locus for inherited myoclonus-dystonia. Linkage to the SGCE locus has been detected in the majority of families tested, and mutations in the coding region have been found recently in families with autosomal dominant myoclonus-dystonia. To evaluate the relevance of SGCE in myoclonus-dystonia, we sequenced the entire coding...
