Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17) is caused by abnormal expansions of CAG/CAA trinucleotides within the TATA-box binding protein gene (TBP). The currently accepted critical threshold of abnormal expansions is ≥43. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the minimal CAG/CAA expansion within the TBP in SCA17. RESULTS: 285 patients with autosomal-dominant ataxia were examined, and abnormal or borderline...
