Autosomal Recessive Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 10: A Report of a New Case in Japan.

ABSTRACT: Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia of type 10 (SCAR10) is a very rare neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the TMEM16K (ANO10) gene. This disorder is characterized by slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia and pyramidal signs inconstantly associated with cognitive decline, polyneuropathy, epilepsy, and vesicorectal dysfunction. To date, more than 40 cases have been reported in Europe. In contrast, only three cases have been identified in Asian countries. We herein report the third Japanese case of SCAR10 harboring a novel homozygous deletion mutation (c.616delG, p.Glu206Lysfs*17). This case presented with adult-onset slowly progressive spastic ataxia with cerebellar atrophy and mild cognitive decline.

Autosomal Recessive Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 9 With a Response to Phosphate Repletion: A Case Report.

Project description:ObjectiveAutosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 9 (SCAR9) has received attention due to its potential response to coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation; however, the response has so far been limited and variable.MethodsWe report a SCAR9 patient with severe hypophosphatemia who responded well to CoQ10 and phosphate repletion.ResultsA 70-year-old man (the offspring of a consanguineous marriage) presented with cerebellar ataxia and intense fatigue after exercise. Whole-exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous deletion mutation (NM_020247.5:c.1218_1219del) in COQ8A. We thus diagnosed him with SCAR9. Supplementation of CoQ10 alleviated his symptoms, with the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) dropping from 16 to 14. During the course of the disease, he demonstrated continuous hypophosphatemia caused by renal phosphate wasting. Gait dysfunction due to weakness and eye movement was partially alleviated, and SARA dropped from 17 to 13 after phosphate repletion.DiscussionPhosphate repletion should be considered for patients with severe hypophosphatemia without any apparent subjective symptoms. In this case, phosphate repletion could have improved myopathy leading to partial improvement in the patient's symptoms. Further analyses regarding the association between COQ8A mutation and phosphate wasting are required to elucidate the detailed pathogenesis.Classification of evidenceThis provides Class IV evidence. This is a single observational study without controls.

Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 with a <i>VPS13D</i> mutation: A case report.

Project description:BackgroundAutosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 4 (SCAR4) is a type of SCA that is a group of hereditary diseases characterized by gait ataxia. The main clinical features of SCAR4 are progressive cerebellar ataxia, pyramidal signs, neuropathy, and macrosaccadic intrusions. To date, many gene dysfunctions have been reported to be associated with SCAR4.Case summaryHere, we report a novel compound heterozygous mutation, c.3288delA (p.Asp1097ThrfsTer6), in the VPS13D gene in a young female Chinese patient. The patient found something wrong with her legs about 10 years ago and presented with the typical characteristics of SCAR4 when she came to the hospital, including ataxia, neuropathy, and positive pyramidal signs. She was then diagnosed with SCAR4 and went home with symptomatic schemes.ConclusionSCAR4 is a hereditary disease characterized by ataxia, pyramidal signs, neuropathy, and macrosaccadic intrusions. We report a novel compound heterozygous mutation, c.3288delA (p.Asp1097ThrfsTer6), in the VPS13D gene, which enriches the gene mutation spectrum and provides additional information about SCAR4.

Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 20: Report of a new patient and review of literature.

Project description:Inherited ataxias are an extremely heterogeneous group of disorders. Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 20 (SCAR20) is a recently described disorder characterized by intellectual disability, ataxia, coarse facial features, progressive loss of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum and often hearing loss and skeletal abnormalities. Mutations in the gene SNX14, which plays an important role in autophagy, have been found to cause SCAR20. The unique clinical findings of progressive coarsening of facial features makes the clinical phenotype recognizable among the various hereditary ataxias. Here we report on a child with a novel missense mutation in the SNX14 gene that appears to be debilitating for protein conformation, function and review the previously reported cases from 15 families.

Homozygous deep intronic variant in SNX14 cause autosomal recessive Spinocerebellar ataxia 20: a case report.

Project description:Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 20, SCAR20 (MIM: 616354) is a rare syndromic form of hereditary ataxias. It characterized by the presence of progressive ataxia, intellectual developmental disorder, autism and dysmorphic features. The disease caused by biallelic variants in SNX14 gene that lead to loss of protein function. Typically, these variants result in the formation of a premature stop codon, a shift in the reading frame or a variant in canonical splicing sites, as well as gross rearrangements. Here we present the first case of a deep intronic variant c.462-589A>G in SNX14 identified in two sisters with SCAR20 from a consanguineous family. This variant resulted in the inclusion of a pseudo-exon 82 nucleotides long and the formation of a premature stop codon, leading to the production of a truncated protein (NP_722523.1:p.Asp155Valfs*8). Following an extensive diagnostic search, the diagnosis was confirmed using trio whole genome sequencing. This case contributes to expanding the spectrum of potential genetic variants associated with SCAR20.

Novel Autosomal Recessive c10orf2 Mutations Causing Infantile-Onset Spinocerebellar Ataxia.

Project description:Recessive mutations in genes encoding mitochondrial DNA replication machinery lead to mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes. This genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous group includes infantile onset spinocerebellar ataxia (OMIM# 271245) a neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the mtDNA helicase gene, c10orf2, with an increased frequency in the Finnish population due to a founder mutation. We describe a child of English descent who presented with a severe phenotype of IOSCA as a result of two-novel mutations in the c10orf2 gene. This paper expands the phenotypic spectrum of IOSCA and adds further evidence for the presence of a genotype-phenotype correlation among patients with recessive mutations in this gene.

Exome sequencing reveals a novel TTC19 mutation in an autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia patient.

Project description:BackgroundSpinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are heterogeneous diseases characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia associated with dysarthria, oculomotor abnormalities, and mental impairment. To identify the causative gene, we performed exome sequencing on a Japanese patient clinically diagnosed with recessive SCA.MethodThe patient is a 37-year-old Japanese woman with consanguineous parents. The head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed cerebellar atrophy and T1 low/T2 high intensity at the bilateral inferior olives. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping and next-generation sequencing were performed, and the variants obtained were filtered and prioritized.ResultsAfter these manipulations, we identified a homozygous nonsense mutation of the TTC19 gene (p.Q277*). TTC19 has been reported to be a causative gene of a neurodegenerative disease in Italian and Portuguese families and to be involved in the pathogenesis of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III (cIII) deficiency. This report is the first description of a TTC19 mutation in an Asian population. Clinical symptoms and neuroimaging are consistent with previous reports. The head MRI already showed abnormal features four years before her blood lactate and pyruvate levels were elevated.ConclusionsWe should consider the genetic analysis of TTC19 when we observe such characteristic MRI abnormalities. Genes associated with mitochondrial function cause many types of SCAs; the mutation we identified should help to elucidate the pathology of these disorders.

Most mutations that cause spinocerebellar ataxia autosomal recessive type 16 (SCAR16) destabilize the protein quality-control E3 ligase CHIP.

Project description:The accumulation of misfolded proteins promotes protein aggregation and neuronal death in many neurodegenerative diseases. To counteract misfolded protein accumulation, neurons have pathways that recognize and refold or degrade aggregation-prone proteins. One U-box-containing E3 ligase, C terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP), plays a key role in this process, targeting misfolded proteins for proteasomal degradation. CHIP plays a protective role in mouse models of neurodegenerative disease, and in humans, mutations in CHIP cause spinocerebellar ataxia autosomal recessive type 16 (SCAR16), a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by truncal and limb ataxia that results in gait instability. Here, we systematically analyzed CHIP mutations that cause SCAR16 and found that most SCAR16 mutations destabilize CHIP. This destabilization caused mutation-specific defects in CHIP activity, including increased formation of soluble oligomers, decreased interactions with chaperones, diminished substrate ubiquitination, and reduced steady-state levels in cells. Consistent with decreased CHIP stability promoting its dysfunction in SCAR16, most mutant proteins recovered activity when the assays were performed below the mutants' melting temperature. Together, our results have uncovered the molecular basis of genetic defects in CHIP function that cause SCAR16. Our insights suggest that compounds that improve the thermostability of genetic CHIP variants may be beneficial for treating patients with SCAR16.

Heterozygous pathogenic variants in CWF19L1 in a Chinese family with spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 17.

Project description:BackgroundCWF19L1 is responsible for spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 17, which presents with cerebellar ataxia, and atrophy. Here, we report novel compound heterozygous variants of CWF19L1 in a Chinese family with progressive ataxia and mental retardation of unknown etiology by analyzing clinical characteristics and genetic variations.MethodsClinical profiles and genomic DNA extracts of family members were collected. Whole-exome and Sanger sequencing were performed to detect associated genetic variants. Pathogenicity prediction and conservation analysis of the identified variants were performed using bioinformatics tools.ResultsWe identified heterozygous variants at the invariant +2 position (c.1555_c.1557delGAG in exon 14 and c.1070G > T in exon 11) of the CWF19L1 gene. Two novel heterozygous variants of the CWF19L1 gene were identified in the CWF19L1 gene associated with autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia.ConclusionOur results suggest that CWF19L1 variants may be a novel cause of recessive ataxia with developmental delay. Whole-exome sequencing is an efficient tool for screening variants associated with the disease. This case report may help diagnose and identify the causes of other ataxias, leading to novel therapies, especially in China. This finding enriches the variant spectrum of the CWF19L1 gene and lays the foundation for future studies on the correlation between genotype and phenotype.
