By directly searching for cDNAs with CAG repeats as candidates, we found unstable expansion of CAG repeat of a gene (CTG-B37) on chromosome 12 in all the 22 DRPLA patients. There is a good correlation between the sizes of CAG repeat expansion and the ages of onset. Patients with earlier onset tended to have a phenotype of progressive myoclonus epilepsy and larger expansions. Thus wide variety of its clinical manifestations can now be explained by the variable unstable expansion of the CAG repeat.}, pages = {185--190}, title = {6)遺伝性歯状核赤核淡蒼球ルイ体萎縮症(DRPLA) : 分子遺伝学の立場から(シンポジウム 分子遺伝病の臨床と病理, 第494回新潟医学会)}, volume = {109}, year = {1995} }
