“…(1) 338/346 (97.7%) ATX-TBP patients had ≥41 repeats (8 patients with 33, 34, or 38 repeats that lacked the typical above-mentioned ATX-TBP phenotypic characteristics were all reported in a single article, 21 and an alternative cause of genetic ataxia cannot be ruled out); ( 2) almost all patients with PD (11,742/11,757, 99.9%) and healthy individuals (16,748/16,759, 99.9%) had ≤42 repeats in the TBP gene; and (3) there is a gray zone between 41 and 45 repeats with RP, because 64/12,845 (0.5%) healthy subjects were reported within this range of repeats. In other words, in the data we extracted, we found no firm evidence of TBP-related disease in those with repeats of ≤40, and no healthy subjects with repeats greater than 45.…”
