Data were obtained from meta-analysis of a published study of somatic mosaicism in the cerebral cortex (N<sub>MJD</sub> = 11, N<sub>SCA1</sub> = 7) and white matter (N<sub>MJD</sub> = 9, N<sub>SCA1</sub> = 6) of SCA1 and MJD individuals (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0028260#pone.0028260.s007" target="_blank">Table S1</a>) (Maciel <i>et al</i>, 1997). (<b>B</b>) Repeat-length normalised levels of somatic mosaicism in buccal cells of HD and SCA7 patients is similar to the levels of germ line instability observed in these disorders.
