Heterozygous deletion of ITPR1, but not SUMF1, in spinocerebellar ataxia type 16.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A variety of abnormalities have been demonstrated at chromosome 11p15 in individuals with overgrowth and growth retardation. The identification of these abnormalities is clinically important but often technically difficult. Methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) is a ...
