Phenotype variability and early onset ataxia symptoms in spinocerebellar ataxia type 7: comparison and correlation with other spinocerebellar ataxias

Abstract: The spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by heterogeneous clinical presentation. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is caused by an abnormal CAG repeat expansion and includes cerebellar signs associated with visual loss and ophthalmoplegia. Marked anticipation and dynamic mutation is observed in SCA7. Moreover, phenotype variability and very early onset of symptoms may occur. In this article, a large series of Brazilian patients with different SCA subtypes wa… Show more

“…Table 1 summarizes the clinical, genetic, and molecular findings of the infantile onset SCA7 patients reported so far. Although infantile onset was rarely reported; juvenile disease (onset before 10 years of age) seems to be more frequent in SCA7 than in other SCAs, representing 15% of the total number of SCA7 patients in some series [4].…”

“…This is followed by slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia (typically at a younger age than in the other autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias), in addition to other findings, such as cognitive impairment and ophthalmoplegia. 42 The main NR findings in VBM studies are pontocerebellar atrophy, with greater involvement of the pons than in the other SCAs; cerebellar atrophy correlates with disease progression. 43 SARA scores are inversely correlated to cerebellar volume, mainly due to atrophy of WM of the hemispheres, and also some cortical fields (parahippocampal gyrus, post- and precentral gyrus, cingulate gyrus, insula, inferior and medial frontal, parietal inferior, and parahippocampal and occipital cortices).…”

“…dos pacientes e 66,7% das famílias), em proporção similar à encontrada no estado do Paraná (72,5%) (30) e à relatada em um dos estudos de abrangência nacional (70,7%). (13) Essa frequência de AEC3 é superior à média estimada no Brasil (48%), (6) à frequência relatada por Castilhos et al (62,5%) (14) e pela equipe da Unidade de Ataxia da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (54,8%) (31) mas inferior à frequência de AEC3 à relatada no estado do Rio Grande do Sul (84,2%) (12) e na mesorregião de Ribeirão Preto (93,4%). (13) O segundo tipo mais frequente de AEC encontrado no estado de Alagoas foi a AEC7, responsável por 15,1% dos casos e 19% das famílias identificadas, proporção superior à relatada por Cintra et al (6%) e por Castilhos et al (5,6% das famílias) em casuística nacional; (13,14) e bem superior às relatadas no estado do Rio Grande do Sul (0,9%) e no estado do Paraná (4,3%).…”
