Familial spinocerebellar ataxia with skin hyperpigmentation.
Previous reports have shown the association between familial spastic paraplegia and hypopigmentation of the skin. A family is reported in which three siblings presented with progressive spastic paraparesis and cerebellar ataxia. All the siblings had large hyperpigmented naevi of the lower extremities while none of the unaffected members had a skin lesion. A definite association appears to exist...

We report an early onset spastic ataxia-neuropathy syndrome in two brothers of a consanguineous family characterized clinically by lower extremity spasticity, peripheral neuropathy, ptosis, oculomotor apraxia, dystonia, cerebellar atrophy, and progressive myoclonic epilepsy. Whole-exome sequencing identified a homozygous missense mutation (c.1847G>A; p.Y616C) in AFG3L2, encoding a subunit of an...
متن کاملHereditary ataxias represent a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders, clinically characterized by a cerebellar syndrome with imbalance, unsteady gait and limb
neurodegenerative disorders, clinically characterized by a cerebellar syndrome with imbalance, unsteady gait and limb incoordination, dysarthria, and disturbed eye movements. Often there are additional neurological or systemic signs, which are highly variable depending on the genetic subtype and on the individual phenotype. The genetic background of heredoataxias has been largely identified dur...
متن کاملA family with pseudodominant Friedreich's ataxia showing marked variation of phenotype between affected siblings.
A family with pseudodominant Friedreich's ataxia is described showing marked variation of phenotype between affected siblings. The mother of this family (III-3) developed a spastic ataxic tetraplegia with neuropathy at 34 years of age; her husband, who was unrelated, was clinically normal. Of their nine children, two (IV-2, IV-3), including one with multiple sclerosis (IV-3), developed a mild s...
