Research Abstract

We have screened over 2000 patients with spinocerebellar degeneration. The two hundred patiens do not indicate the causative genes. To clarify the causative genes, we typed SNPs of DNA samples from 30 patients in Chugoku and Shikoku areas. We could not find the significant common haplotypes. In the next, we screened SCA36, and found the12 patients. Furthermore, we analyzed the consanguinity families by exome sequencing. In the results,we found the mutations of SYNE1 gene in 3 patients. One of them showed the motor neuron abnormality.
