Exclusion of <scp>CLIC5</scp> as a Candidate Gene and Identification of <scp>NEFM</scp> as a Possible Novel Gene Correlated With Autosomal Recessive Pure Cerebellar Ataxia in a Highly Consanguineous Family

We therefore propose NEFM as a possible new candidate gene for hereditary cerebellar ataxia. These findings could be useful for advancing the genetic diagnosis of hereditary pure cerebellar ataxia, possibly enabling the screening of healthy carriers.
