Spinocerebellar ataxia-27A (SCA27A) is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by general cerebellar dysfunction manifest as gait disturbances, ataxia, tremor, dysarthria, and gaze-evoked nystagmus. The age at onset is highly variable: some patients present in infancy with nystagmus or delayed motor development, whereas others present as adults with tremor or gait difficulties. The disorder is slowly progressive, and ataxia may be very subtle or even absent. Cerebellar atrophy may or may not be observed on brain imaging. Individuals with SCA27A often show mild developmental delay with variably impaired intellectual development. Many patients report an exacerbation of symptoms with fever, emotional stress, or exercise, which can be reminiscent of episodic ataxia or be associated with outbursts, depression, or other behavioral and psychiatric disturbances. There is significant inter- and intrafamilial variability and patients show various combinations of neurologic features (summary by Tucker et al., 2013; Piarroux et al., 2020; Ceroni et al., 2023). For a general discussion of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia, see SCA1 (164400). [from OMIM]
