Hypergonadotropic Hypogonadism, Progressive Early-Onset Spinocerebellar Ataxia, and Late-Onset Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Case Report and Literature Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The association of ataxia, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and hearing loss is extremely rare. Considerable heterogeneity exists in the literature of the neurological manifestations, age of onset, clinical severity and associated abnormalities. We describe a 24-year-old woman with secondary hypergonadotropic amenorrhea, early-onset progressive spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), late-onset sensorineural hearing loss and normal intelligence and compare it with reported cases.

Infantile onset spinocerebellar ataxia caused by compound heterozygosity for Twinkle mutations and modeling of Twinkle mutations causing recessive disease
Mutations in nuclear genes required for the replication and maintenance of mitochondrial DNA cause progressive multisystemic neuromuscular disorders with overlapping phenotypes. Biallelic mutations in C10orf2, encoding the Twinkle mitochondrial DNA helicase, lead to infantile-onset cerebellar ataxia (IOSCA), as well as milder and more severe phenotypes. We present a 13-year-old girl with ataxia...
متن کاملCochlear Implantation in a Patient with Kearns-Sayre Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review
Introduction: The Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) belongs to the group of mitochondrial diseases. Cells that require more energy intake, such as muscle, nerve, retinal and cochlear, are most commonly affected. The established diagnostic criteria are: 1) the age of onset before 20 years old (100%), 2) progressive external ophthalmoplegia (100%), 3) pigmentary retinopathy (100%), and 4) at least one ...
متن کاملAbnormalities in synaptic dynamics during development in a mouse model of spinocerebellar ataxia type 1
Late-onset neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by neurological symptoms and progressive neuronal death. Accumulating evidence suggests that neuronal dysfunction, rather than neuronal death, causes the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying the dysfunction that occurs prior to cell death remain unclear. To investigate the synaptic basis of this dysfun...
متن کاملTwo sporadic patients of Perrault syndrome with ovarian dysgenesis and sensorineural deafness
Perrault syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural deafness and ovarian dysgenesis. Some patients also have neurologic abnormalities, including cerebellar ataxia, nystagmus, polyneuropathy and mild mental retardation. The syndrome is known to be caused by mutations in HSD17B4 or HARS2 until now but few patients were reported. We report on two sporadic Korean pat...
متن کاملSpinocerebellar Ataxia 27: A Review and Characterization of an Evolving Phenotype
Background Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is an uncommon form of progressive cerebellar ataxia with multiple genetic causes and marked variability in phenotypic expression even across patients with identical genetic abnormalities. SCA27 is a recently identified SCA caused by mutations in the Fibroblast Growth Factor 14 gene, with a phenotypic expression that is only beginning to be fully apprecia...
