Abstract
The autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (ADCAs) represent a growing and heterogeneous disease phenotype. Clinical characterization of a three-generation Filipino family segregating a dominant ataxia revealed cerebellar signs and symptoms. After elimination of known spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) loci, a genome-wide linkage scan revealed a disease locus in a 4-cM region of 19q13, with a 3.89 lod score. This region overlaps and reduces the SCA13 locus. However, this ADCA is clinically distinguishable from SCA13.Entities:
