SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA TYPE 7

Alternate names

SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA TYPE 7 Is also known as ataxia with pigmentary retinopathy, sca7, cerebellar syndrome-pigmentary maculopathy syndrome

Description

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7), currently the only known form of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type 2 (ADCA2; see this term), is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive ataxia, motor system abnormalities, dysarthria, dysphagia and retinal degeneration leading to progressive blindness.

Most common symptoms of SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA TYPE 7

  • Global developmental delay
  • Ataxia
  • Nystagmus
  • Failure to thrive
  • Muscle weakness

SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA 7; SCA7

Alternate names

SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA 7; SCA7 Is also known as opca iii, opca with macular degeneration and external ophthalmoplegia, adca, type ii, olivopontocerebellar atrophy iii, opca3, opca with retinal degeneration, autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia, type ii

Description

Spinocerebellar ataxia-7 (SCA7) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by adult onset of progressive cerebellar ataxia associated with pigmental macular dystrophy. In her classification of ataxia, Harding (1982) referred to progressive cerebellar ataxia with pigmentary macular degeneration as type II ADCA (autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia). The age at onset, degree of severity, and rate of progression vary among and within families. Associated neurologic signs, such as ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal or extrapyramidal signs, deep sensory loss, or dementia, are also variable. Genetic anticipation is observed and is greater in paternal than in maternal transmissions (Benomar et al., 1994; summary by David et al., 1996).For a general discussion of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia, see SCA1 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA 7; SCA7

  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Ataxia
  • Nystagmus
  • Failure to thrive

HYPERREFLEXIA; HRX

Description

Autonomic nervous system overreaction to stimuli, most commonly after spinal cord injury at a T-5 level and above.

Most common symptoms of HYPERREFLEXIA; HRX

  • Microcephaly
  • Abnormality of retinal pigmentation
  • Ankle clonus
