Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1: observation of the family with a homozygous inheriting of the gene

Abstract

Clinical-genealogical observation of a family with five sick siblings where both parents suffered from spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 was carried out. In all five children (siblings) on the results of genetic testing a mutation in SCA1 gene on chromosome 6p was revealed. The result of the quantitative analysis of the mutated gene SCA1 among siblings revealed two homozygotes.
