Abstract excerpt
Expansion of a GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat in the gene C9ORF72 is a common pathogenic mutation in families with autosomal dominant frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In order to understand whether pathogenic GGGGCC expansions of C9ORF72 are associated with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) in mainland China, we performed an experiment to determine the prevalence of pathogenic...
