SCA8

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCA8) is a slowly progressive, dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease. SCA8 patients have large CTG repeat expansions in the untranslated antisense RNA of the Kelch-like 1 gene (KLHL1AS), but the precise relationship between this expansion and disease is complex and is still poorly understood.
