Clinical and Molecular Spectrum of Degenerative Cerebellar Ataxia: A Single Centre Study.

Background: Cerebellar ataxia is a disabling neurological symptom with extreme clinical and etiological heterogeneity.

Objective: To study the clinical and molecular characteristics in patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxia.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 150 South-Indian patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxia underwent a phenotype guided, sequential tiered testing.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the Asian rice gall midge (Orseolia oryzae) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae).

Microsatellite loci were isolated from the genomic DNA of the Asian rice gall midge, Orseolia oryzae (Wood-Mason) using a hybridization capture approach. A total of 90 non-redundant primer pairs, representing unique loci, were designed. These simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers represented di (72%), tri (15.
