Abstract

Background: Multiple episodic ataxia phenotypes and genotypes have been described. Objective: To describe a new episodic ataxia syndrome. Design: Genomewide linkage analysis with dense single nucleotide polymorphism arrays. Setting: University clinic. Patients: Family with lifelong episodes of ataxia and normal interictal examination results. Results: Suggestive linkage (logarithm of odds score, 3.27) to a 10-centimorgan region on chromosome 19q13. Conclusion: A new dominantly inherited episodic ataxia syndrome is linked to chromosome 19q.
