ObjectiveExpand genetic screening for atypical Type I sialidosis (ST‐1) could address its underdiagnosed in both progressive myoclonic ataxia (PMA) and ataxia patients. To evaluate the potential founder effect of mutation in the population.MethodsWe enrolled 231 patients with PMA or ataxia from the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University. Through Whole Exome Sequencing and Sanger sequencing, we identified the causative gene in patients. Haplotype analysis was employed to explore a potential founder effect of the NEU1 c.544A>G mutation.ResultsA total of 31 patients from 23 unrelated families were genetically diagnosed with ST‐1. A significant 80.6% of these patients were homozygous for the c.544A>G mutation. We discovered six different NEU1 variants, including two novel mutations: c.951_968del and c.517T>G. The mean age of onset was 18.0 ± 7.1 years. The clinical spectrum of ST‐1 featured ataxia and myoclonus as the most common initial symptoms. Over 40% suffered from controlled generalized tonic–clonic seizures. Mobility and independence varied greatly across the cohort. Cherry‐red spots were rare, occurring in just 9.5% (2/21) of patients. Brain MRIs were typically unremarkable, except for two patients with unusual findings. EEGs showed diffuse paroxysmal activity in 17 patients. The c.544A>G mutation in NEU1 is a founder variant in Fujian, with a unique haplotype prevalent in East Asians.InterpretationST‐1 should be suspected in patients with PMA or ataxia in Southeast China, even without macular cherry‐red spots and seizures, and the premier test could be a variant screening of the founder variant NEU1 c.544A>G.
