Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical manifestations and gene mutations on a large spinocerebellar ataxia 3 pedigree, in order to explore the molecular genetical characteristics in this pedigree. METHODS: Blood samples from 9 patients and 27 healthy family members in the Department of Neurology of Henan Provincial People's Hospital were collected. The CAG trinucleotide repeats in SCA3 gene in each sample were...
