DNAJB2-RELATED CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH DISEASE TYPE 2

Alternate names

DNAJB2-RELATED CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH DISEASE TYPE 2 Is also known as charcot-marie-tooth neuropathy, type 2t, charcot-marie-tooth disease, axonal, autosomal recessive, type 2t, dnajb2-related cmt2

Description

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2T (CMT2T) is a slowly progressive autosomal recessive sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy with onset in middle age (Higuchi et al., 2016).For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of axonal CMT, see CMT2A1 (OMIM ).

SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA 43; SCA43

Description

Spinocerebellar ataxia-43 is an autosomal dominant, slowly progressive neurologic disorder characterized by adult-onset gait and limb ataxia and often associated with peripheral neuropathy mainly affecting the motor system, although some patients may have distal sensory impairment (summary by Depondt et al., 2016).For a general discussion of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia, see SCA1 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA 43; SCA43

  • Ataxia
  • Nystagmus
  • Pain
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Dysarthria

SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA TYPE 43

Alternate names

SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA TYPE 43 Is also known as sca43

Description

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 43 is a rare autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type I disorder characterized by late adult-onset of slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia, typically presenting with balance and gait disturbances, in association with axonal peripheral neuropathy resulting in reduced/absent deep tendon reflexes and sensory impairment. Lower limb pain and amyotrophy may be present, as well as various cerebellar signs, including dysarthria, nystagmus, hypometric saccades and tremor.

Most common symptoms of SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA TYPE 43

  • Pain
  • Dysarthria
  • Areflexia
  • Hyporeflexia
  • Pes cavus
