Abstract excerpt
To study gene loci and disease phenotypes, 18 families with dominant OPCA were subjected for linkage analysis to SCA1- or SCA2-linked microsatellites. Total individuals consisted of 190. Among them, 77 were affected. Consequently, 10 families were 6p-linked, 7 were 12q-linked, and one was type-undetermined. These results indicate that the majority of dominant OPCA in Japan are composed with these two genotypes....
