Deep Intronic FGF14 GAA Repeat Expansion in Late-Onset Cerebellar Ataxia

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The late-onset cerebellar ataxias (LOCAs) have largely resisted molecular diagnosis. METHODS: We sequenced the genomes of six persons with autosomal dominant LOCA who were members of three French Canadian families and identified a candidate pathogenic repeat expansion.
