Severe distinct dysautonomia in
Abstract Biallelic repeat expansions in replication factor C subunit 1 ( RFC1 ) have recently been found to cause cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS). Additional features that have been described include Parkinsonism and a multiple system

Acute Vestibular Syndrome Unmasking an RFC1 -Spectrum Disorder
Since the discovery of biallelic pentanucleotide expansions in RFC1 as the cause of cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, vestibular areflexia syndrome, a wide and growing clinical spectrum has emerged. In this article, we report a man with acute vestibular syndrome that likely unmasked a RFC1-spectrum disorder.Detailed clinical evaluation, neuroimaging ...

Neuropathology of a patient with Parkinson's disease and biallelic expansion in RFC1. [PDF]
This is the first report of neuropathology in biallelic RFC1 expansion‐associated Parkinson’s disease (PD). It shows a synucleinopathy of intraneuronal Lewy bodies consistent with the clinical PD diagnosis while neuropathological CANVAS (Cerebellar Ataxia with Neuropathy and bilateral Vestibular Areflexia) features were absent.

DNA Repair Pathway Variants Are Enriched in Individuals with Biallelic AAGGG CANVAS and RFC1-Related Disease. [PDF]
Abstract Background Cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy and vestibular are flexia syndrome (CANVAS) and RFC1‐related disease are most commonly caused by biallelic AAGGG repeat expansions in RFC1. The high population frequency of this expansion compared to the frequency of CANVAS suggests incomplete penetrance.

Optimized Cas9-Enriched Nanopore Sequencing and Analysis Workflow for Clinical Diagnosis of Repeat Expansion Disorders. [PDF]
An optimized Cas9‐enriched nanopore sequencing workflow, combined with STRiker, enables simultaneous analysis of disease‐associated STR loci from patient blood. The nCATS–STRiker workflow detects repeat expansions, de novo repeat motifs, interruption patterns, and methylation in a single assay, improving the genetic diagnosis of previously undiagnosed ...

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 ...

Non-coding repeat expansions within RFC1 and NOTCH2NLC genes have lately been linked to multisystem neurodegenerative diseases, which also shed light on yet undiagnosed patients with inherited peripheral neuropathies.
