Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: MJD1/SCA3 is the most common type of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) worldwide. To explain the low prevalence of the disease among SCA patients from eastern India, we analysed CAG repeats and two bi-allelic intragenic markers at SCA3 locus among 412 normal individuals and 10 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For CAG repeat analysis, PCR amplified fragments were run on polyacrylamide gel, transferred to a...
