Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : SCA8; IOSCA; Spinocerebellar ataxia, infantile, with sensory neuropathy; Spinocerebellar ataxia 8; Ophthalmoplegia, hypotonia, ataxia, hypoacusis, and athetosis; Ohaha syndrome; Spinocerebellar ataxia, infantile-onset;
Description : Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-7 is an autosomal recessive severe neurodegenerative
disorder characterized primarily by hypotonia, ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, hearing loss,
seizures, and sensory axonal neuropathy. Although originally classified as a form
of spinocerebellar ataxia (see, e.g., SCA1, 164400) (Koskinen et al., 1994), it has
been reclassified as a mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (Hakonen et al., 2008)
based on the finding of mtDNA depletion in the brain and liver of affected individuals.
For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal recessive mtDNA depletion syndromes,
see MTDPS1 (603041).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the T7 gene 4-like protein with intramitochondrial nucleoid
localization gene (C10orf2, 606075.0012);
Laboratory abnormalities : Abnormal liver enzymes (rare);
