Identification of the gene for spinocerebellar ataxia type 5, and method of use.

摘要

The present invention comprises the following steps: to provide a method of including it, and to determine the SCA5 polynucleotide is whether or not to include the mutation were analyzed and SCA5 polynucleotide. The method may be used to identify subjects not otherwise subject or are at risk of expressing type 5 spinocerebellar ataxia. The present invention also provides an isolated polynucleotide having a mutation that is present in SCA5 polynucleotide.
