SCA36 NOP56

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 36 (SCA36) is a subtype of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type 1 (ADCA type 1) characterized by gait and limb ataxia, lower limb spasticity, dysarthria, muscle fasiculations, tongue atrophy and hyperreflexia¹.

Prevalence

Western Japan: 3.6% of all SCA; Costa da Morte region of Spain: 6.3% of all SCA²; US: 0.7% of large undiagnosed ataxia cohort³. Found across ancestries/ethnicities⁴.

Age of Onset Details

Typical: 40-60⁵; Range: 28⁶- 67².

Locus

chr20:2633379-2633403

Details

Benign alleles range from 3-14 repeats and pathogenic alleles (650+ repeats) appear fully penetrant; the significance of intermediate alleles has yet to be elucidated⁵. Interruptions documented: GGCTG, GGCCCTG, GGCCG, and GGCCTTG⁷.

Mechanism

GoF

Toxic protein gain-of-function, RAN translation⁴.
