Genomic structure of the human gene for spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) on chromosome 12q24.1

S Sahba et al. Genomics. 1998.

Abstract

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a member of a group of neurodegenerative diseases that are caused by instability of a DNA CAG repeat. We report the genomic structure of the SCA2 gene. Its 25 exons, encompassing approximately 130 kb of genomic DNA, were mapped onto the physical map of the region. Exonic sizes varied from 37 to 890 bp, and intronic sizes ranged from 323 bp to more than 15 kb. The CAG repeat was contained in the 5' coding region of the gene in exon 1. Determination of the splice junction sequences indicated the presence of only one deviation from the GT-AG rule at the donor splice site of intron 9, which contained a GC instead of a GT dinucleotide. Exon 10, immediately downstream from this rare splice donor site, was alternatively spliced. Alternative splicing does not affect the reading frame and is predicted to encode an isoform containing 70 amino acids less.
