Research Abstract |
In the research on pathogenesis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6), we found Purkinje cell specific inclusions and SCA6 gene resulted in Ca channel abnormality in cultured cells. A new gene locus for pure cerebellar ataxia was disclosed and the candidate area was narrowed. Regarding glial cytoplasmic inclusions in multiple system atrophy, we identified the 7 KD core fragment of α-synuclein molecule.
