Hispanic Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 35 (SCA35) with a Novel Frameshift Mutation.

ABSTRACT: Genetic mutations in transglutaminase 6 (TGM6) are recently identified to be associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 35 (SCA35). We report a Hispanic SCA35 patient, who was confirmed to have a heterozygous, single-nucleotide deletion in TGM6, causing a frameshift mutation with a premature stop codon. An immune-mediated ataxia previously found to be associated with autoantibody reactivity to TG6 may share a similar pathomechanism to SCA35, suggesting a converging role for TG6 in cerebellar function.

Clinical and functional characterization of a novel STUB1 frameshift mutation in autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia type 48 (SCA48).

Project description:BackgroundHeterozygous pathogenic variants in STUB1 are implicated in autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia type 48 (SCA48), which is a rare familial ataxia disorder. We investigated the clinical, genetic and functional characteristics of STUB1 mutations identified from a Taiwanese ataxia cohort.MethodsWe performed whole genome sequencing in a genetically undiagnosed family with an autosomal dominant ataxia syndrome. Further Sanger sequencing of all exons and intron-exon boundary junctions of STUB1 in 249 unrelated patients with cerebellar ataxia was performed. The pathogenicity of the identified novel STUB1 variant was investigated.ResultsWe identified a novel heterozygous frameshift variant, c.832del (p.Glu278fs), in STUB1 in two patients from the same family. This rare mutation is located in the U-box of the carboxyl terminus of the Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) protein, which is encoded by STUB1. Further in vitro experiments demonstrated that this novel heterozygous STUB1 frameshift variant impairs the CHIP protein's activity and its interaction with the E2 ubiquitin ligase, UbE2D1, leading to neuronal accumulation of tau and α-synuclein, caspase-3 activation, and promoting cellular apoptosis through a dominant-negative pathogenic effect. The in vivo study revealed the influence of the CHIP expression level on the differentiation and migration of cerebellar granule neuron progenitors during cerebellar development.ConclusionsOur findings provide clinical, genetic, and a mechanistic insight linking the novel heterozygous STUB1 frameshift mutation at the highly conserved U-box domain of CHIP as the cause of autosomal dominant SCA48. Our results further stress the importance of CHIP activity in neuronal protein homeostasis and cerebellar functions.

Novel SPTBN2 gene mutation and first intragenic deletion in early onset spinocerebellar ataxia type 5.

Project description:In the present study, we describe two novel cases of SCA5 with early onset. The first one, carrying a novel heterozygous de novo missense mutation in SPTBN2 gene, showed a striking very severe cerebellar atrophy and reduction of volume of the pons at a very young age (16 months). The latter, carrying the first de novo intragenic deletion so far reported in SPTBN2 gene, showed a mild cerebellar atrophy involving the hemispheres and a later onset. In both cases, for the first time, a hyperintense signal of the dentate nuclei was observed.

A novel frameshift mutation of SYNE1 in a Japanese family with autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia type 8.

Project description:A Japanese family with autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCAR8, MIM 610743) is described. We identified a novel SYNE1 frameshift deletion (c.6843del, p.Q2282Sfs*3). This family shared similar clinical manifestations characterized by adult-onset, relatively pure cerebellar ataxia with mild eye movement abnormality. Intelligence and bulbar and respiratory functions were unaffected. This study suggests the clinical utility of using panel-based exome sequencing for genetic diagnosis in hereditary ataxias in a cost-efficient manner.

Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 31 with Blepharospasm.

Project description:A 58-year-old man consulted our hospital due to a 2-year history of dysarthria and a 1-month history of blepharospasm. In addition to the ataxic dysarthria and blepharospasm, a neurological examination demonstrated slight ataxia of the trunk and lower limbs. Brain MRI demonstrated atrophy of the upper portion of the cerebellar vermis. Gene analysis established a diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 31 (SCA31). Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with the three-dimensional stereotaxic ROI template (3DSRT) software program demonstrated hyperperfusion in the lenticular nucleus and thalamus. Although the association between SCA31 and blepharospasm in our patient remains unclear, we considered that this combination might be more than coincidental.

Ophthalmic features of spinocerebellar ataxia type 7.

Project description:PurposeTo analyze the relation between ophthalmologic and motor changes in spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7).Patients and methodsThis was a case series study. Sixteen SCA7 patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, including ocular extrinsic motility testing, color vision test, and optical coherence tomography of the optic nerve and macula. Changes in the corneal endothelium, electroretinographic patterns, and a complete neurologic evaluation using the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) were evaluated. Correlations of endothelial cell density (ECD) with number of CAG repetitions and the SARA scores were estimated.ResultsAll patients showed various degrees of visual impairment mainly due to macular deterioration. Notably, they also presented decreased ECD. Pairwise correlations of ECD with number of CAG repeats and severity of motor symptoms quantified with the SARA scores were inverse (r=-0.46, P=0.083 and r=-0.64, P=0.009, respectively). Further analyses indicated an average ECD decrease of 48 cells/mm2 (P=0.006) per unit of change on the number of CAG repeats, and of 75 cells/mm2 (P=0.001) per unit of change on the SARA scores.ConclusionsThe results agree with previous ophthalmological findings regarding the widespread effect of SCA7 mutation on the patient's visual system. However, the results also show a significant negative correlation of decreased ECD with both CAG repetitions and SARA scores. This suggests that motor systems could degenerate in parallel with visual systems, although more research is needed to determine whether the degeneration is caused by the same mechanisms.

A family with spinocerebellar ataxia type 5 found to have a novel missense mutation within a SPTBN2 spectrin repeat.

Project description:A family with late-onset autosomal dominant pure cerebellar ataxia, consistent with spinocerebellar ataxia type 5 (SCA5) but lacking previously reported SPTBN2 mutations, was identified. DNA was collected from seven individuals across two generations and the SPTBN2 gene on chromosome 11 was sequenced. A nonsynonymous heterozygous substitution in exon 12 was detected in individuals diagnosed with SCA5 while unaffected family members did not possess this variant. The identified c.1415C>T variant results in a p.T472M substitution in the second SPEC domain of the beta-III spectrin protein. The threonine at position 472 is not in close proximity to the characteristic residues that define the SPEC domain and is variable across diverse SPEC domains, yet is highly conserved in SPTBN2. Consistent with these observations, bioinformatic analysis of the p.T472M variant suggests it to be pathological. Two deletions within the SPTBN2 SPEC domains (E532_M544del and L629_R634delinsW) have been previously reported to cause SCA5, but this is the first missense mutation in this region of the protein shown to likely be pathogenic.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 in Chinese Han.

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10; OMIM #603516) is an autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia with variably associated extracerebellar signs.(1,2) SCA10 is caused by an expanded noncoding pentanucleotide repeat in ATXN10, which normally ranges from 9 to 32 repeats(3,4); pathogenic alleles have as many as 4,500 repeats.(4) To date, SCA10 has been found exclusively on American continents. In this report, we describe a Chinese Han family with autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia caused by an SCA10 expansion.

Therapeutic Strategies for Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1.

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder that affects one or two individuals per 100,000. The disease is caused by an extended CAG repeat in exon 8 of the ATXN1 gene and is characterized mostly by a profound loss of cerebellar Purkinje cells, leading to disturbances in coordination, balance, and gait. At present, no curative treatment is available for SCA1. However, increasing knowledge on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of SCA1 has led the way towards several therapeutic strategies that can potentially slow disease progression. SCA1 therapeutics can be classified as genetic, pharmacological, and cell replacement therapies. These different therapeutic strategies target either the (mutant) ATXN1 RNA or the ataxin-1 protein, pathways that play an important role in downstream SCA1 disease mechanisms or which help restore cells that are lost due to SCA1 pathology. In this review, we will provide a summary of the different therapeutic strategies that are currently being investigated for SCA1.
