Functional Characterization of Mutations in STUB1, a Protein Involved in the Protein Turnover System, in Patients with Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxia
Popular science summary: Recessive mutations in STUB1 cause cerebellar ataxia Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias (ARCA) constitute a group of rare disorders characterized by ataxia due to cerebellum neurodegeneration. Here we characterize three novel mutations in the STUB1 (STIP1 homology and U-box containing protein) gene as the cause of ARCA in two families. STUB1 encodes CHIP (C-terminus
