Duplication of 4-bp in SACS leads to autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix–Saguenay type in two Pakistani patients
摘要
In this study, we present two patients from a Pakistani family affected by autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix–Saguenay, a rare neurodegenerative disorder. Exome sequencing identified a homozygous 4-bp duplication (NM_014363.6:c.12129_12132dup, p.Leu4045ArgfsTer8) in SACS correlating with disease in the affected family members.
