Added comment: NR_002717.2:n.1073CTA[X]1103CTG[X]
ATXN8 (CAG)n(TAG)n vs ATXN8OS on opposite strand (CTA)n(CTG)n
Both toxic RNA and toxic protein gain of function mechanisms likely contribute to disease mechanism
Normal alleles: 15-50 combined (CTA·TAG)n(CTG·CAG)n repeats
Alleles of questionable significance: 50-70 repeats.
Reduced penetrance allele size: found for (CTA·TAG)n(CTG·CAG)n repeats of all sizes
Higher penetrance allele size: ≥80 (CTA·TAG)n(CTG·CAG)n repeats most often seen in individuals with ataxia; however, repeat sizes ranging from 71 to more than 1300 repeats have been found both in individuals who develop ataxia and in those who do not.
