Name
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10
Inheritance
Autosomal dominant
Description
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10) is a subtype of type I autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA type I). It is characterized by slowly progressive cerebellar syndrome and epilepsy, sometimes mild pyramidal signs, peripheral neuropathy and neuropsychological disturbances1 .
Prevalence
Unknown prevalence, >300 individuals. Cases have been identified in Mexico, Brazil, China, and Japan2 .
Age of Onset(Typical)Years11  8312  48
Age of Onset Details
Typical: 12-48; Range: 11-832 .

Locus

Details
Unaffected individuals are usually (82%) compound heterozygotes in the benign range2 . Intermediate alleles show reduced penetrance, and exact distinction between intermediate and the lower end of the pathogenic range is unclear2 . Expansions are frequently interrupted by ATCCT, ATCCC, ATTCC, ATTTCT, ATATTCT, ATTCTTCT, or ATTCTTCT; interruptions of ATTGT, TTTCT, ATTTTCT, ATTCTCT have been noted3 as has the interruption ATGCT4 . The ATCCT interruption motif is associated with a higher prevalence of epileptic seizures5 . Different motif patterns and mixed motif ratios may influence age of onset and anticipation6 .
