CANVAS-related RFC1 mutations in patients with immune-mediated neuropathy
Cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, and vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) has recently been attributed to biallelic repeat expansions in RFC1. More recently, the disease entity has expanded to atypical phenotypes, including chronic neuropathy without ...

Profiling complex repeat expansions in RFC1 in Parkinson’s disease
A biallelic (AAGGG) expansion in the poly(A) tail of an AluSx3 transposable element within the gene RFC1 is a frequent cause of cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS), and more recently, has been reported as a rare cause of

Novel Clinical Insights From a Swedish RFC1 Spectrum Disorder Cohort. [PDF]
In this study, we clinically characterized a Swedish cohort with biallelic RFC1 expansions by retrospectively enrolling 30 patients from a tertiary center and analyzing their clinical, genetic, and detailed phenotypic features. Our results suggest a Swedish founder effect in the Norrbotten region and indicate that RFC1‐spectrum disorder should be ...

Biallelic RFC1 Expansions Are a Rare Cause of Early-Onset and Familial Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]
Biallelic pathogenic expansions in RFC1 contribute to the genetic etiology of PD, with a frequency similar to that of other known autosomal recessive PD genes. RFC1‐positive PD is currently not clinically distinguishable from RFC1‐negative PD, but genetic background may play a role in future therapies or other interventions.

Longitudinal Evaluation of Ataxia and Brain Structural Changes in RFC1-Related Disorder. [PDF]
Abstract Background The progression of brain damage in CANVAS/RFC1 remains unclear. Objective To describe longitudinal brain changes in CANVAS/RFC1. Methods Ten RFC1‐positive patients and 10 controls underwent 3T‐MRI scans 2 years apart. We analyzed cerebral gray and white matter using FreeSurfer and DTI multiatlas, the cerebellum with CerebNet, and ...

Sural/Radial Amplitude Ratio: A Useful Tool to Diagnose Non-Length-Dependent Neuropathy. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Patients with non‐length‐dependent neuropathy (NLDN) exhibit reduced sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitudes in both lower and upper limbs. This study aimed to determine a threshold for the sural/radial amplitude ratio (SRAR) suggestive of NLDN.

In 2019, a biallelic pentanucleotide repeat expansion in the gene encoding replication factor C subunit 1 (RFC1) was reported as a cause of cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS). In addition, biallelic expansions were shown to account for up to 22% of cases with late-onset ataxia.

Motor neuron pathology in CANVAS due to RFC1 expansions [PDF]
Abstract CANVAS caused by RFC1 biallelic expansions is a major cause of inherited sensory neuronopathy. Detection of RFC1 expansion is challenging and CANVAS can be associated with atypical features. We clinically and genetically characterized 50 patients, selected based on the presence of sensory neuronopathy confirmed by
