Table of contents:

Description

SCA17 is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by ataxia, pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs, cognitive impairments, psychosis, and seizures. Its clinical phenotype and inheritance pattern are similar to Huntington disease (HD ). Individuals with normal TBP alleles have between 25 and 44 repeats, whereas SCA17 patients have between 47 and 63 repeats. Reduced penetrance is seen with 45 to 46 repeats (summary by Gao et al. (2008)).For a general discussion of autosomal dominant of spinocerebellar ataxia, see SCA1 (OMIM ).
