The autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCA) are a clinically, pathologically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders. Ten responsible genes have been identified for spinocerebellar ataxia types SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, SCA7, SCA8, SCA10, SCA12 and SCA17, and dentatorubral pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA). The mutation is caused by an expansion of a CAG, CTG or ATTCT repeat sequence of these genes. Six additional loci, SCA4, SCA5, SCA11, SCA13, SCA14 and SCA16 have also been mapped. The growing heterogeneity of the autosomal dominant forms of these diseases shows that the genetic aetiologies of at least 20% of ADCA have yet to be elucidated. We ascertained and clinically characterized a four-generation Chinese pedigree segregating an autosomal dominant phenotype for cerebellar ataxia. Direct mutation analysis, linkage analysis for all known SCA loci and a genome-wide linkage study were performed. Direct mutation analysis excluded SCA1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 17 and
