SCA THAP11

Disease ID
SCA
Gene ID
THAP11

Disease

SCA
Name
Spinocerebellar ataxia
Inheritance
Autosomal dominant
Description
THAP11-caused SCA involves symptoms including gait ataxia, dysarthia, dysphagia, slow saccades, ptosis, and/or nystagmus1 .
Prevalence
Has been observed in Chinese families1,2 . Interruptions predisposing to expansion/disease appear to vary by ancestry3 .
Age of OnsetYears4  51
Age of Onset Details
Typical: 8-40 (small sample size); Range: 4-511 .

Locus

Details
Expansion (45-100 repeats) found in affected individuals from 2 families and not in 500 controls (benign range: 20-38 repeats)1 . Longer alleles were associated with earlier age of onset. For example, an individual with 100 repeats had age of onset at 4 years. CAA interruptions can reduce toxicity1 .
Mechanism
GoF
Polyglutamine expansion leading to gain of function toxicity1,4 .
