Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
Spinocerebellar ataxia-8 (SCA8; {608768}) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CTG/CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion on chromosome 13q21 (see {603680.0001} and {613289.0001}). Two genes span the CTG/CAG repeat and are expressed in opposite directi
