Spinocerebellar ataxia 14 (SCA14) is associated with missense mutations in the protein kinase C {gamma} gene (PRKCG), rather than a nucleotide repeat expansion. In this large-scale study of PRKCG in patients with ataxia, two new missense mutations, an in-frame deletion, and a possible splice site mutation were found and can now be added to the four previously described missense mutations. The genotype/phenotype correlations in these families are described.
