Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6: CAG repeat expansion in α<sub>1a</sub> voltage‐dependent calcium channel gene and clinical variations in japanese population
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are clinically and genetically a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders. Recently, mild CAG repeat expansion in the alpha1A voltage-dependent calcium channel gene has been found to be associated with a type of autosomal dominant SCA (SCA6). We analyzed 98 Japanese families with autosomal dominant SCAs, for whom CAG repeat expansions of the SCA1, SCA2,...
