Spinocerebellar ataxias: microsatellite and allele frequency in unaffected and affected individuals Ataxias espinocerebelares: freqüência de alelos e microsatélites em indivíduos normais e afetados

The diagnosis and incidence of spinocerebelar ataxias (SCA) is sometimes difficult to analyze due the overlap of phenotypes subtypes and are disorders of mutations caused by CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion. To investigate the incidence of the SCA in Southern Brazil, we analyzed the trinucleotide...
