SETX mutations are a frequent genetic cause of juvenile and adult onset cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein
OBJECTIVES/BACKGROUND Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia defines a group of genetically distinct recessive ataxias including ataxia-telangectasia (A-T, ATM gene), ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1 (AOA1, APTX gene) and type 2 (AOA2, SETX gene). Although, a few unique clinical features differentiate each of these forms, the patients also share common clinical signs, such as the presence of cereb...
متن کاملMutations in XRCC1 cause cerebellar ataxia and peripheral neuropathy.
Letter Mutations in genes involved in singlestrand break repair (SSBR) have been linked to hereditary cerebellar ataxias. Notably, Ataxia-oculomotor apraxia 1 (AOA1 (MIM: 2 08 920)), Spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy 1 (SCAN1 (MIM: 6 07 250)) and Ataxia-oculomotor apraxia 4 (AOA4 (MIM: 616267616267616267)) are associated with mutations in APTX (MIM: 606350), TDP1 (MIM: 607198) and P...
متن کاملClinical and molecular findings of ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 in 4 families.
BACKGROUND Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by SETX mutations in 9q34 resulting in cerebellar ataxia in association with peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar atrophy on imaging, an elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) serum level, and occasional oculomotor apraxia. OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and molecular findings of 7 patients with a clin...
متن کاملAtaxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2: an evolving axonal neuropathy.
A 23-year-old woman had presented initially to a podiatrist complaining of poorly fitting shoes during her adolescence. After extensive neurological review, she was diagnosed with ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2. This is a progressive autosomal recessive ataxia associated with cerebellar atrophy, peripheral neuropathy and an elevated serum α-fetoprotein. Within Europe, it is the most freq...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
