Machado Joseph-Disease Is Rare in the Peruvian Population
In conclusion,ATXN3 allelic distribution in non-MJD/SCA3 patients with ataxia is similar to the distribution in normal individuals around the world, whereas LN allele frequency reinforces no correlation with the frequency of MJD/SCA3. Evidence of any atypical MJD/SCA3 phenotype was not found. Furthermore, haplotypes are required to confirm the foreign origin of MJD/SCA3 in the Peruvian population.
