| Abstract |
The autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCAs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders. To date, at least 11 genes and 13 additional loci have been identified in ADCAs. Despite phenotypic differences, spinocerebellar ataxia 4 (SCA4) and Japanese 16q-linked ADCA type III map to the same region of 16q22.1. We report four Japanese families with pure cerebellar ataxia and a disease locus at 16q22.1. Our families yielded a peak lod score of 6.01 at marker D16S3141. To refine the candidate region, we carried out genetic linkage studies in four pedigrees with a high density set of DNA markers from chromosome 16q22.1. Our linkage data suggest that the disease locus for 16q-ADCA type III is within the 1.25-Mb interval delineated by markers 17msm and CTTT01. We screened for mutations in 36 genes within the critical region. Our critical region lies within the linkage interval reported for SCA4 and for Japanese 16q-ADCA type III. These data suggest that the ADCA that we have characterized is allelic with SCA4 and Japanese 16q-linked ADCA type III. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 July 2018.
All research outputs
#7,454,298
of 22,789,076 outputs
Outputs from neurogenetics
#116
of 376 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#19,751
of 60,999 outputs
Outputs of similar age from neurogenetics
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,789,076 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 376 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 60,999 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
