Spinocerebellar ataxia 17 (SCA17) is a rare genetic cause of adult-onset ataxia caused by an abnormal expansion of the CAG/CAA sequence in the TATA-box Binding Protein (TBP) gene. A number of repeats higher than 49 are full penetrance-expanded. The range between 41 and 49 repeats is characterized by decreased penetrance, and it is usually referred to as "small." Here, we describe two patients with the SCA17...
