Voltage-dependent calcium channel mutations have been associated with spinocerebellar ataxia in humans (SCA6) and with ataxia, progressive cerebellar degeneration, and epilepsy in mice (tottering, lethargic, and stargazer). A novel autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia syndrome with epilepsy (SCA10) was recently mapped to chromosome 22q13. The human ortholog of the mouse stargazer locus, the calcium channel gamma subunit gene CACNG2, also is located in this region. Because the phenotypes of stargazer mice and SCA10 patients were similar, consisting of both cerebellar ataxia and seizures, we hypothesized that CACNG2 was a likely candidate for the SCA10 locus.
