Journal ArticleDOI
A Japanese family with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 which includes three individuals homozygous for an expanded CAG repeat in the SCA6/CACNL1A4 gene
Yoshihisa Takiyama,Kumi Sakoe,Michito Namekawa,Michiyo Soutome,Eisaku Esumi,T. Ogawa,Kin Ya Ishikawa,Hidehiro Mizusawa,Imaharu Nakano,Masatoyo Nishizawa +9 more
TL;DR: Molecular testing revealed that in these patients the SCA6/CACNL1A4 gene carries the smallest known expanded CAG repeat (21 repeat units), which describes a Japanese family which includes 13 patients in five generations who have dominantly inherited ataxia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal anticipation in Machado-Joseph disease (MJD): some maternal factors independent of the number of CAG repeat units may play a role in genetic anticipation in a Japanese MJD family
Yoshihisa Takiyama,Haruo Shimazaki,Mitsuya Morita,Michiyo Soutome,Kumi Sakoe,Eisaku Esumi,Shin-ichi Muramatsu,Mitsuo Yoshida,Shuichi Igarashi,Hajime Tanaka,Shoji Tsuji,Hidenao Sasaki,Akemi Wakisaka,Imaharu Nakano,Masatoyo Nishizawa +14 more
TL;DR: Some maternal factors other than the increase of the number of CAG repeat units, which is known to be the basis of anticipation, may play a role in genetic anticipation in this MJD family.
