Spinocerebellar ataxia [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Disease Primers, 2019
The spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal dominantly inherited progressive disorders, the clinical hallmark of which is loss of balance and coordination accompanied by slurred speech; onset is most often in adult life. Genetically, SCAs are grouped as repeat expansion SCAs, such as SCA3/Machado-Joseph disease

Spinocerebellar ataxias

2018
There are over 40 autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) now identified. In this chapter we delineate the phenotypes of SCAs 1-44 and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) and highlight the clinical and genetic features of the well characterised SCAs in detail in the main section of the chapter, along with their frequency and age at ...

Spinocerebellar ataxias

Neurological Sciences, 2008
Conventional MRI in patients presenting with progressive ataxia demonstrates the three main patterns of macroscopic damage, namely spinal atrophy, olivopontocerebellar atrophy and cortical cerebellar atrophy. Moreover it contributes to the diagnosis of fragile-X tremor ataxia syndrome and siderosis of the CNS.

The Spinocerebellar Ataxias

Clinical Neuropharmacology, 2000
The spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are diseases characterized by the progressive degeneration and subsequent loss of neurons accompanied by reactive gliosis, degeneration of fibers from the deteriorating neurons, and clinical symptoms reflecting the locations of the lost neurons.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 20

The Cerebellum, 2005
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 20 (SCA20) was reported in 2004 in a single Australian Anglo-Celtic pedigree. The phenotype is distinctive, with palatal tremor, and hypermetric saccades, and early dentate (but not pallidal) calcification in the absence of abnormalities of calcium metabolism.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 12

2012
SCA12 is a late-onset, autosomal dominant, slowly progressive disorder. Action tremor is the usual presenting sign. Subsequent development of ataxia and hyperreflexia suggests spinocerebellar ataxia. In the index SCA12 kindred, which resides in North America and is of German ancestry, parkinsonism, anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction are not

Spinocerebellar ataxia 7 (SCA7)

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2003
Spinocerebellar ataxia 7 (SCA7) is a progressive autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by cerebellar ataxia associated with progressive macular dystrophy. The disease affects primarily the cerebellum and the retina, but also many other CNS structures as the disease progresses.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1

Seminars in Cell Biology, 1995
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by ataxia, dysarthria and progressive bulbar dysfunction. The SCA 1 gene which maps to the short arm of chromosome 6 has been isolated using a positional cloning approach. The SCA1 transcript is 10660 bases and encodes a novel protein, ataxin-1, with

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 5

2012
In 1994, Ranum and colleagues identified a ten-generation American kindred with a relatively mild autosomal dominant form of spinocerebellar ataxia (Ranum et al., 1994). The mutation was mapped to the centromeric region of chromosome 11, and the disorder designated SCA5 (Ranum et al., 1994). Using a multifaceted mapping approach, Ikeda et al.
