Identification of two novel compound heterozygous mutations of ADGRV1 in a Chinese family with Usher syndrome type IIC.

abstract：:Mutations in sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) gene are associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Recently, mutation in SQSTM1 was also found to cause a progressive childhood-onset cerebellar ataxia. We describe here a case of progressive childhood-onset cereb...
