Abstract

Spinocerebellar ataxia 25 (SCA25) is a rare form of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia associated with a severe sensory neuropathy. Clinical variability ranges from incomplete penetrance at age 61 to a Friedreich ataxia-like syndrome. The responsible locus was mapped to chromosome 2p in a large region of 14 Mbases in a single French kindred.
