Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia with ocular apraxia type 2 (AOA2) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by early onset cerebellar ataxia, sensory-motor neuropathy and frequently increased levels of alpha-fetoprotein. We describe a male patient with a phenotype highly suggestive of AOA2, but only one point mutation found by sequencing of the SETX gene. Further analysis revealed a large out-of-frame...
