Identification of a novel genetic locus on chromosome 8p21.1–q11.23 for idiopathic basal ganglia calcification
15 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by basal ganglia and extrabasal ganglia calcification, and usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. To date, two genetic loci for IBGC were identified on chromosomes 14q and 2q, but further genetic heterogeneity clearly exists. In this study, a large Chinese family with autosomal dominant IBGC was...
