Description : SCA15 is an autosomal dominant, adult-onset, very slowly progressive form of cerebellar
ataxia. Most patients also have disabling action and postural tremor, and some have
pyramidal tract affection, dorsal column involvement, and gaze palsy. Brain imaging
shows cerebellar atrophy mainly affecting the vermis (summary by Synofzik et al.,
2011). Heterozgous mutation in the ITPR1 gene can also cause SCA29 (117360), which
is distinguished by onset in infancy of delayed motor development followed by nonprogressive
ataxia and mild cognitive impairment. Autosomal dominant 'pure' cerebellar ataxia,
classified as ADCA type III by Harding (1983, 1993), is a genetically heterogeneous
disorder (see, e.g., 117210). For a general discussion of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar
ataxia, see SCA1 (164400).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
