Complexity of the Genetics and Clinical Presentation of Spinocerebellar Ataxia 17
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17) is a rare autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the TATA-box binding protein gene (TBP). The disease has a varied age at onset and clinical presentation.

Abstract Background As advanced molecular testing is incorporated into routine clinical practice, accessibility and yield remain limited. Objectives We propose a simplified and effective workup strategy to maximize diagnostic yield based on presented diagnostic yield of rare movement disorders at a tertiary Neurogenetics Clinic.

Cognitive Changes in Pre‐ataxic Spinocerebellar Ataxias: A Scoping Review
Abstract Background Although traditionally recognized for motor impairment, evidence suggests that cognitive deficits may emerge before ataxia onset in autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA), particularly in nucleotide repeat expansion SCAs (NRE‐SCAs).

A targeted gene panel that covers coding, non-coding and short tandem repeat regions improves the diagnosis of patients with neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
Genetic testing for neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) is highly challenging because of genetic heterogeneity and overlapping manifestations. Targeted-gene panels (TGPs), coupled with next-generation sequencing (NGS), can facilitate the profiling of a ...

Action perception recruits the cerebellum and is impaired in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia
Using a combination of neuroimaging and behavioural studies, Abdelgabar et al. show that the cerebellum helps us perceive the actions of others. Disorders such as spinocerebellar ataxia type 6, which disrupt cerebellar functioning, impair our ability to ...
