Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia 7 (SCA7) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by degeneration of the cerebellum, brainstem and retina. The gene responsible for SCA7, located on chromosome 3p, recently was cloned and shown to contain a CAG repeat in the coding region of the gene, that is expanded in SCA7 patients of French origin. We examined the SCA7 repeat region in four Swedish SCA7 families as well as in 57...
