Arq Neuropsiquiatr. 2007 Dec;65(4A):965-8. doi: 10.1590/s0004-282x2007000600008.

Abstract

The authors report the history of spinocerebellar ataxia 10 (SCA10), since its first report in a large Portuguese-ancestry family with autosomal dominant pure cerebellar ataxia, till the final identification of further families without Mexican ancestry. These families present a quite different phenotype from those SCA10 families described in Mexico.
