Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a genetically heterogeneous disease characterized by cerebellar ataxia. Many causative genes have been identified to date, the most common etiology being the abnormal expansion of repeat sequences, and the mutation of ion channel genes also play an important role in the development of SCA. Some of them encode calcium and potassium channels. However, due to limited reports about...
