Abstract excerpt
Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease due to mutations within prion protein (PRNP) gene. Clinically, it is not easy to distinguish GSS from spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), especially in the early stage of disease. We aimed to identify genetic mutations in 8 Chinese pedigrees with dominant ataxia but excluded dynamic mutations of SCA genes. Targeted next-generation...
