## Abstract Spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17) is caused by expansion of a CAG/CAA repeat in the __TBP__ gene. Most pathogenic alleles are interrupted and are stably transmitted from parent to offspring without anticipation. We identified three SCA17 families with expansion of uninterrupted all

Spinocerebellar ataxia 8 (SCA8) is caused by a CTG repeat expansion in an untranslated region of a recently cloned gene on 13q21. The pathogenic role of this trinucleotide repeat was evaluated by examining 154 Finnish ataxia patients and 448 controls. Expansions ranging from 100 to 675 repeats were
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
Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias are a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders that generally present in adulthood. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 typically presents with progressive cerebellar symptoms, slow ocular saccades, and peripheral neuropathy. The onset of symptoms is usually
