Trinucleotide expansions in the SCA7 gene in a large family with spinocerebellar ataxia and craniocervical dystonia.

Abstract excerpt

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 is a rare autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA). Herein, we describe the molecular and clinical findings in patients within six generations of a large Chinese family with spinocerebellar ataxia. To identify the genetic cause(s), 4 affected patients and 26 asymptomatic relatives were recruited for the study. Molecular screening of the SCA1 and SCA7 genes was carried out by...
