Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the possible relationship between the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation and spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). METHODS: Genetic diagnosis of SCA3 was made by detecting the CAG-repeat expansion of MJD1 gene using PCR and DNA sequencing techniques. Then polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) was performed to analyze the mitochondrial DNA extracted from...
