Hereditary Ataxia with a Novel Mutation in the Senataxin Gene: A Case Report

Hereditary ataxias (HA) are a group of inherited neurological disorders caused by changes in genes. At least 115 different mutations in the senataxin (SETX) gene causing ataxia have been identified. There are no reports of any SETX gene mutation among the Iranian population. Here we report on two cases with homozygous and heterozygous mutations in which one patient was affected by HA with oculo...

hereditary ataxia

the hereditary ataxias comprise a wide spectrum of heterogeneous disorders that share three features: ataxia, involvement of cerebellum or its connections, and heritability. in many hereditary ataxias, the underlying gene mutations have been identified. knowledge of the causative mutations allows a rational classification of hereditary ataxias as autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or mater...

A family with hereditary ataxia.

An Indian family with four members having hereditary ataxia was presented. The inheritance was most likely autosomal dominant. The onset was at adult life. The main disability was cerebellar ataxia with pyramidal tract sign found at physical examination. Electroencephalography and nerve conduction study were abnormal in two cases where they were done. The clinical feature correspond to an inter...

Treatment for speech disorder in Friedreich ataxia and other hereditary ataxia syndromes.

BACKGROUND Hereditary ataxia syndromes can result in significant speech impairment, a symptom thought to be responsive to treatment. The type of speech impairment most commonly reported in hereditary ataxias is dysarthria. Dysarthria is a collective term referring to a group of movement disorders affecting the muscular control of speech. Dysarthria affects the ability of individuals to communic...
