## Abstract A 48βyearβold man developed progressive hemidystonia and postural impairment with falls, followed by choreoathetosis, hyporeflexia, ataxia, supranuclear vertical gaze palsy, and dementia, lasting only 3.5 years from symptom onset to death. Family history and genetic testing were unrevea

## Abstract We present a patient with a 14βyear course beginning at the age of 44 years with hemidystonia followed by generalized choreoathetosis, behavioral, and oculomotor disturbances. Family history and genetic testing were unrevealing. Neuropathological findings were identical to genetic denta
## Abstract Dentatorubralβpallidoluysian atrophy is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease characterized by various combinations of ataxia, choreoathetosis, myoclonus, epilepsy, and dementia as well as a wide range of ages at onset. A specific unstable trinucleotide repeat expansion in a g
The repeat expansion detection (RED) method was described to detect expansions of trinucleotide repeats of unknown chromosomal location. We have improved the RED method by the use of 8-mer oligonucleotides and assessed its usefulness in 30 samples from patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SC
