Abstract excerpt
Nearly a thousand mutations mapping to 60 different loci have been identified in cerebellar ataxias. However, almost 50% of the cases remain genetically uncharacterized and there is a difference in prevalence as well as in the phenotypic spectrum of ataxia among various geographical regions. This poses a challenge for setting up a genetic panel for screening ataxia. In our ataxic cohort of 1014 families, 61% are...
