چکیده

ataxia oculomotor apraxia1(aoa1) is the most frequent cause of autosomal-recessive cerebellar ataxia in japan,but it is reported from all of the world. the presentation is nearly identical to that of at without the non-neurological features,and accounts for up to 10% of autosomal-recessive cerebellar ataxias.gait imbalance and dysarthria are typical presenting features,oculomotor apraxia typically occurs a few years after symptom onset;the gene,aptx,maps to chromosome 9p13.3 and is expressed in all body tissues.several mutations have been described.here we report two siblings(a girl and a boy) of consanguinuos parents,with history of gait ataxia,titubation and tremor around 5 years old,and oculomotor apraxia after that.the brother showed symptoms of disease earlier and more severe than his sister. after rulling out the common etiologies of progressive ataxia,we did genetic study for aoa1,that showed a homozygous frameshift mutation as c.418_418 del was found.this mutation did not report before so this was a new mutation in aptx gene.

Although AOA1 (ataxia oculomotor apraxia1) is one of the most common causes of autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias in Japanese population, it is reported from all over the world. The clinical manifestations are similar to ataxia telangiectasia in which non-neurological manifestations are absent and include almost 10% of autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias. Dysarthria and gait disorder are...

A Novel Mutation in the Aprataxin (APTX) Gene in an Iranian Individual Suffering Early-Onset Ataxia with Oculomotor Apraxia Type 1(AOA1) Disease

Background: Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1 (AOA1) shows early onset with autosomal recessive inheritance and is caused by a mutation in the aprataxin (APTX) gene encoding for the APTX protein. Methods: In this study, a 7-year-old girl born of a first-cousin consanguineous marriage was described with early-onset progressive ataxia and AOA, with increased cholesterol concentration and decr...

Identification of a novel mutation in the APTX gene associated with ataxia-oculomotor apraxia

Hereditary ataxias are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous family of disorders defined by the inability to control gait and muscle coordination. Given the nonspecific symptoms of many hereditary ataxias, precise diagnosis relies on molecular genetic testing. To this end, we conducted whole-exome sequencing (WES) on a large consanguineous Iranian family with hereditary ataxia and oculomot...

Dear Editor, Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type I (AOA1) is a recessively inherited ataxic disorder that is characterized clinically by the childhood onset of progressive cerebellar ataxia, oculomotor apraxia (OMA), and peripheral axonal sensorimotor neuropathy.1 Dystonia, chorea, and cognitive impairment are commonly associated symptoms, and hypoalbuminemia and hypercholesterolemia are often ...
