Abstract

The present invention provides methods that include analyzing an SCA5 polynucleotide, and determining whether the SCA5 polynucleotide includes a mutation. The methods may be used to identify a subject that is at risk or not at risk for developing spinocerebellar ataxia type 5. The present invention also provides isolated polynucleotides having a mutation present in an SCA5 polynucleotide.
