Abstract excerpt
The authors identified two Japanese spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) families characterized by postural and action tremor and a very slow progression rate. A genome-wide linkage analysis revealed linkage to chromosome 3p26.1-25.3 with the highest multipoint lod score at D3S3728 (Zmax = 3.31 at theta = 0.00). The candidate region was 14.7 cM flanked by D3S1620 and D3S3691, which was partly overlapping with the locus...
