Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative syndromes, characterized by a wide range of muscular weakness and motor deficits, caused due to cerebellar degeneration. The prevalence of the syndromes of SCA varies across the world and is known to be linked to the instability of trinucleotide repeats within the high-end normal alleles, along with susceptible haplotype. We estimated sizes of the CAG or GAA repeat expansions at the SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA12 and frataxin loci among 864 referrals of subjects to genetic counselling and testing (GCAT) clinic, National Institute of Mental Healthand Neurosciences, Bengaluru, India, with suspected SCA. The most frequent mutations detected were SCA1 (

Pediatric restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the rarest in its group and accounts for only 2.5–5% of all the diagnosed cardiomyopathies in children. It is a relentless disease with poor prognosis, and heart transplantation is the only long-term treatment option. The aetiology of pediatric RCM varies and includes conditions such as endomyocardial fibrosis, storage disorder (Fabry’s disease, MPS), drugs, radiation, post-cardiac transplantation and genetic. Genetic causes encompasses mutations in sarcomeric (troponin I and T, actin, myosin and titin) and nonsarcomeric protein-coding genes (Desmin, RSK2, lamin A/C and bcl-2-associated athanogene 3 (
