O-42: Expansion of CAG Repeats in theSpinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1 (SCA1) Gene inIdiopathic Oligozoospermia Patients
Background: The lengths of CAG repeats in two spinocerebellar ataxia genes, SCA1 and SCA3, were analyzed to determine whether such repeats exist in higher numbers in infertile males. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from healthy controls, oligozoospermia patients, and azoospermia patients. DNA fragments containing target CAG repeats were amplified by PCR with template DNA pur...
متن کاملSpinocerebellar ataxia type 6 in Brazil.
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA 6) is an autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia caused by CAG repeat expansion in the SCA6 gene, a alpha 1A voltage-dependent calcium channel subunit gene on chromosome 19p13. SCA-6 is characterized predominantly by slowly progressive pure cerebellar ataxia with late onset. We report three index patients, with pure, late onset, cerebellar ataxia, belonging to th...
متن کاملSpinocerebellar Ataxia Type 7 Sans Retinal Degeneration: A Phenotypic Variability
Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA) was classified into Type I, Type II, and Type III, based on the clinical phenotypes by Harding. ADCA Type I presents with both cerebellar and noncerebellar signs and includes SCA1–SCA4, SCA8, SCA10, SCA12-SCA23, SCA25, SCA27, SCA28, and SCA32–SCA36. ADCA Type II consists of syndromes in association with pigmentary retinopathies and includes SCA7. ADCA...
متن کاملGenetic Screening for Spinocerebellar Ataxia Genes in a Japanese Single-Hospital Cohort
OBJECTIVE Diagnosis of sporadic cerebellar ataxia is a challenge for neurologists. A wide range of potential causes exist, including chronic alcohol use, multiple system atrophy of cerebellar type (MSA-C), and sporadic late cortical cerebellar atrophy. Recently, an autosomal-dominant spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) mutation was identified in a cohort of patients with non-MSA-C sporadic cerebellar ...
متن کاملDifferences in saccade dynamics between spinocerebellar ataxia 2 and late-onset cerebellar ataxias.
The cerebellum is implicated in maintaining the saccadic subsystem efficient for vision by minimizing movement inaccuracy and by learning from endpoint errors. This ability is often disrupted in degenerative cerebellar diseases, as demonstrated by saccade kinetic abnormalities. The study of saccades in these patients may therefore provide insights into the neural substrate underlying saccadic m...
