Novel SACS Mutations Identified by Whole Exome Sequencing in a Norwegian Family with Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay

We employed whole exome sequencing to investigate three Norwegian siblings with an autosomal recessive spastic ataxia and epilepsy. All patients were compound heterozygous (c.13352T>C, p.Leu4451Pro; c.6890T>G, p.Leu2297Trp) for mutations in the SACS gene establishing the diagnosis of autosomal...
