" /> Spinocerebellar ataxia 15 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Spinocerebellar ataxia 15;

Symbol : SCA15;

CISMeF acronym : SCA15; SCA16;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : SCA16; Spinocerebellar ataxia 16;

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;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor, type 1 gene (ITPR1, 147265);

Prefixed ID : #606658;
