Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is an autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia caused by CAG repeat expansion. We found expansion at SCA7 locus in only two out of 235 Indian families clinically diagnosed for ataxia. In one of the families, a de novo mutation was observed wherein a paternal allele in intermediate range of 31 CAG repeats expanded to 59 in the offspring leading to the disease. No expanded alleles...
