Paracentric inversion of chromosome 9 with schizoaffective disorder.

abstract：:Autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) constitute a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders. The transglutaminase 6 (TGM6) gene was recently suggested as a SCA causative gene in Chinese SCA families. In this study, two affected members of a three-generation Chinese family with SCA characterized by progres...
