Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is caused by small CAG repeat expansion in the gene encoding the alpha1A-voltage-dependent-calcium channel subunit (CACNLIA4) on chromosome 19p13, and is a subgroup of the late-onset pure cerebellar ataxia (ADCA III). To investigate the prevalence of SCA6 in t...
