Approximately 95% of all Friedreich's ataxia (FA) patients are homozygous for a large GAA triplet-repeat expansion in the first intron of the Friedreich's ataxia gene (FRDA). The remaining cases are expected to be compound heterozygous with a GAA expansion on one allele and a point mutation on the o
Autosomal dominant myotonia congenita or Thomsen's disease (OMIM\* 160800) and autosomal recessive myotonia congenita or Becker's (OMIM\* 255700) are rare nondystrophic disorders due to allelic mutations of the muscle chloride channel gene, CLCN1. We have analysed all 24 exons of the CLCN1 gene, in
