Diagnostic Efficacy of Genetic Studies in a Series of Hereditary Cerebellar Ataxias in Eastern Spain

Abstract: Background and ObjectivesTo determine the diagnostic efficacy of clinical exome-targeted sequencing (CES) and spinocerebellar ataxia 36 (SCA36) screening in a real-life cohort of patients with cerebellar ataxia (CA) from Eastern Spain.MethodsA total of 130 unrelated patients with CA, negative for common trinucleotide repeat expansions (SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, SCA7, SCA8, SCA12, SCA17, dentatorubral pallidoluysian atrophy [DRPLA], and Friedreich ataxia), were studied with CES. Bioinformatic and genotype-phenoty… Show more

“…Patients were enrolled from the Ataxia Clinic at Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe, a national referral center for Hereditary Cerebellar Ataxia and Spastic Paraplegia. The inclusion criteria were: (1) patients with a progressive cerebellar ataxia with negative studies for acquired etiologies; (2) sporadic or AD presentation; and (3) negative genetic studies including analysis of trinucleotide repeat expansion ataxias (SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, SCA7, SCA8, SCA12, SCA17, DRPLA and Friedreich ataxia) and/or clinical exome sequencing 8 . Ultimately, SCA36 was screened in 84 index patients from 297 pedigrees.…”

“…Screening of the hexanucleotide repeat was ruled out with both conventional PCR and Repeat-Primed PCR (RP-PCR) as previously described. 1,8 The number of repeats in non-expanded alleles was calculated according to an amplicon of 174pb with a static region of 132 pb.…”

“…Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) 19 is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that leads to progressive ataxia and cerebellar atrophy [1]. It is caused by mutations in KCND3, which encodes a voltage-gated potassium channel subunit that plays a crucial role in the function of cerebellar Purkinje cells.…”
