Additional Information:

Clinical Description OMIM Cagnoli et al. (2006) reported a 4-generation Italian family in which at least 14 members were affected with juvenile-onset spinocerebellar ataxia inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. The mean age at onset was 19.5 years (range 12 to ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In affected members of 5 unrelated families with SCA28, including the family reported by Cagnoli et al. (2006), Di Bella et al. (2010) identified 5 different heterozygous mutations in the AFG3L2 gene (604581.0001-604581.0005). Studies in yeast showed that ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews The diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 28 (SCA28) should be considered in the presence of the following:...
Clinical Description GeneReviews No prospective natural history study has yet been published. The following discussion of the natural history of spinocerebellar ataxia type 28 (SCA28) is based on the findings reported in 12 families (43 individuals) published to date [Mariotti et al 2008, Cagnoli et al 2010, Edener et al 2010]....
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews For the most part, each mutation reported to date has occurred in a single family only. ...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews The ataxic gait of persons with SCA28 is indistinguishable from that seen in other adult-onset inherited or acquired ataxias. When the family history suggests autosomal dominant inheritance, all other autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCAs) have to be considered (see Hereditary Ataxia Overview). ...
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease and needs of an individual diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia type 28 (SCA28) the following evaluations are recommended:...
