Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a pathogenic CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the ATXN2 gene. At-risk couples can embark on unaffected pregnancies through preimplantation genetic testing of monogenic disorders (PGT-M) of SCA2, which should involve accurate repeat expansion detection together with risk haplotype tracking using informative...
