In addition, the ATXN2, ATN1, ATXN1, and ATXN10 genes belong to a group of genes that are associated with microsatellite-expansion diseases, a class of neurological and neuromuscular disorders caused by the expansion of short stretches of repetitive DNA, such as spinocerebellar and cerebellar ataxia (Suzuki and Yazawa, 2011; Ashizawa, 2012; Laffita-Mesa et al., 2021; Chen J. M. et al., 2022). The gene discussed is ATXN10; the disease is cerebellar ataxia.
