Abstract excerpt
We present linkage analysis on a large Swedish five-generation family of 15 affected individuals with autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA) associated with retinal degeneration and anticipation. Common clinical signs in this family include ataxia, dysarthria and severely impaired vision with the phenotype ADCA type II. Different subtypes of ADCA have proven difficult to classify clinically due to extensive...
