Autosomal Dominant Cerebellar Ataxias (SCAs and DRPLA)
- Autosomal Dominant Cerebellar AtaxiaAutosomal dominant
A group of dominantly inherited ataxias, including SCA1, SCA2, SCA3 (Machado-Joseph disease), SCA6, SCA7, SCA17, SCA27B and DRPLA, caused by repeat expansions or point variants in genes such as ATXN1, ATXN2, ATXN3, CACNA1A, ATXN7, TBP, ATN1 and FGF14.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Genetic counselling and presymptomatic testing for relatives, physiotherapy and symptom management; some forms, such as SCA27B, may respond to specific medication.
Inheritance
- Autosomal dominant
- One changed copy, from either parent, is enough. A parent who has one passes it on to each child with a one-in-two chance.

Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 2.9 kb of the gene's 55.5 kb; 780 of those bases code for the protein.
