Abstract excerpt
We report on a family with spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), in which the age at onset and the severity of the disease do not correlate with the number of CAG repeat units. Although a marked anticipation was observed in the proband, it was not a consequence of an expansion of the CAG tract. None of the expanded alleles contained CAT interruptions. The pathologic expansion in this family was stable during the...
