title: A new episodic ataxia syndrome with linkage to chromosome 19q13.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Multiple episodic ataxia phenotypes and genotypes have been described.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To describe a new episodic ataxia syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Genomewide linkage analysis with dense single nucleotide polymorphism arrays.
  
  
  METHODS
  University clinic. Patients Family with lifelong episodes of ataxia and normal interictal examination results.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Suggestive linkage (logarithm of odds score, 3.27) to a 10-centimorgan region on chromosome 19q13.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A new dominantly inherited episodic ataxia syndrome is linked to chromosome 19q.
