Test Code: ATXN1R

Spinocerebellar Ataxia - Type 1 (ATXN1)

Neurogenetics

Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1 (SCA1) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the ATXN1 gene on chromosome 6p22.3. This test uses a specialised PCR-based technique to detect CAG repeat expansions in the ATXN1 gene associated with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1.
