The CAG repeat tract at the autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) locus was analyzed in SCA1 families and French-Acadian, African-American, Caucasian, Greenland Inuit, and Thai populations. The normal alleles had 9-37 repeats, whereas disease alleles contained 44-64 repeats. The CA

An expanded and unstable CAG repeat in the coding region of the MJD1 gene is the mutation responsible for spinocerebellar ataxia 3/Machado-Joseph disease. In order to determine whether there was a higher degree of instability in affected regions, the size of the expanded CAG repeat was analyzed in d
We have genotyped unrelated French Alsatian schizophrenic and bipolar I disorder (BPD) patients and matched controls for the polymorphic CAG repeats within the genes for spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (B37), in order to test their possible involvement i
