Abstract excerpt
To clarify the population history of dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) in Italy and to date back the introduction of the mutation, we reconstructed extended haplotypes flanking the CAG repeat in 10 patients of Italian ancestry, analyzing their similarity/dissimilarity as a function of distance from the CAG repeat. Our aim was to compare the hypothesis of a single, recent genealogy connecting all the...
