SCA17 TBP

A rare subtype of type I autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA type I). It is characterized by a variable clinical picture which can include dementia, psychiatric disorders, parkinsonism, dystonia, chorea, spasticity, and epilepsy¹.

Prevalence

0.2 100,000

Unknown (global), <100 families, 0.47:1,000,000 (Japanese), 0.16/100,000 (England)^2,3: 0.2/100,000. Found across ethnicities/ancestries, with population-dependent prevalence².

Age of Onset Details

Typical: 19-48; Range: 3-62, has second variant to delay onset⁴.

Details

Benign range is 25-40 repeats, pathogenic range is 49+ repeats (largest to date 66 motifs, with mild correlation between size and age of onset), and intermediate alleles (41-48 repeats) are associated with reduced penetrance and potentially milder phenotypes². Huntington's disease like phenotype⁵. Interruptions seen: CAA⁶; CAA CAG CAA interruption is seen in all alleles stably transmitted across generations².

Mechanism

LoF/GoF

Polyglutamine expansion leading to transcriptional dysregulation⁷.
