AOA2 is caused by mutations within the senataxin gene (<jats:italic>SETX<\/jats:italic>). The majority of known mutations are nonsense, missense, and splice site mutations, as well as small deletions and insertions.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>To detect mutations in patients showing a clinical phenotype consistent with AOA2, the coding region including splice sites of the <jats:italic>SETX<\/jats:italic> gene was sequenced and dosage analyses for all exons were performed on genomic DNA. The sequence of cDNA fragments of alternative transcripts isolated after RT-PCR was determined.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Sequence analyses of the <jats:italic>SETX<\/jats:italic> gene in four patients revealed a heterozygous nonsense mutation or a 4 bp deletion in three cases. In another patient, PCR amplification of exon 11 to 15 dropped out. Dosage analyses and breakpoint localisation yielded a 1.3 kb LINE1 insertion in exon 12 (patient P1) and a 6.1 kb deletion between intron 11 and intron 14 (patient P2) in addition to the heterozygous nonsense mutation R1606X. Patient P3 was compound heterozygous for a 4 bp deletion in exon 10 and a 20.7 kb deletion between intron 10 and 15. This deletion was present in a homozygous state in patient P4.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our findings indicate that gross mutations seem to be a frequent cause of AOA2 and reveal the importance of additional copy number analysis for routine diagnostics.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2350-10-87","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,11]],"date-time":"2009-09-11T18:13:49Z","timestamp":1252692829000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Exon deletions and intragenic insertions are not rare in ataxia with oculomotor apraxia 2"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Veronica","family":"Bernard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martina","family":"Minnerop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katrin","family":"B\u00fcrk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Friedmar","family":"Kreuz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriele","family":"Gillessen-Kaesbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Z\u00fchlke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"501_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2007-990268","volume":"38","author":"C Z\u00fchlke","year":"2007","unstructured":"Z\u00fchlke C, Bernard V, Gillessen-Kaesbach G: Investigation of recessive ataxia loci in patients with young age of onset.
