This report describes ataxia neuropathy spectrum, one of several diseases associated with the human DNA polymerase gene POLG, which plays a role in replication of mitochondrial DNA. See the human disease model report for mtDNA polymerase disorders, POLG-related (FBhh0000432) for information on experimental results using Drosophila models of this and related diseases. See MIM:174763 for variants of POLG associated with this disease.
