Epidemiological, clinical, and molecular characterization of Cuban families with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3/Machado-Joseph disease
2015
Background
Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3/Machado-Joseph Disease (SCA3/MJD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder resulting from the expansion of CAG repeats in the ATXN3 gene. It is the most common autosomal dominant ataxia in the world, but its frequency prevalence in Cuba remains uncertain. We undertook a national study in order to characterize the ATXN3 gene and to determine the prevalence of SCA3/MJD in Cuba.
