Chronic pain was present with similar prevalence among SCA10 patients and healthy controls but was more frequent in MJD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Family History of Epilepsy

  history of epilepsy (10.5-fold when considering patients of Mexican ancestry only). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Notably, we find that the presence of repeat interruptions within the SCA10 expansion confers a 6.80-fold increase in the risk of an SCA10 patient developing epilepsy and a 12.92-fold increase in having a positive family history of epilepsy. [ashg.org]

• Excessive Daytime Sleepiness

  The mean scores of excessive daytime sleepiness were worse in the SCA10 group. Scores of fatigue were higher in the SCA10 sample compared to healthy individuals, but better than in the MJD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hyposmia

  Conclusions: This study confirms previous findings in ataxia hyposmia when compared with Parkinson’s disease. However association of the olfactory deficit with disease duration or repeat expansion was not found. [mdsabstracts.org]

• Dysmetria

  On examination, she had horizontal and vertical nystagmus, fragmented ocular pursuit, ocular dysmetria, scanning speech, mild limb and gait ataxia with a widened base, slow speed, and inability to perform tandem walking. [ng.neurology.org]

  On examination, both siblings displayed ocular dysmetria, dysdiadokinesia, impaired finger-to-nose exam, gait ataxia and hyperreflexia. [annalsofian.org]

  There is a broad-based gait, scanning dysarthria, explosive speech, intention tremor, dysdiadochokinesia, dysmetria and abnormalities of eye movements. There may be movement disorders. [patient.info]

  Coordination was intact to the finger-nose-finger test, but the heel-to-shin test was slightly impaired with mild dysmetria. There was no dysdiadochokinesia. [journals.plos.org]

• Hyperreflexia

  The clinical manifestations in our cases were cerebellar ataxia accompanied by epilepsy, hyperreflexia and cognitive impairment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In addition to cerebellar signs, hyperreflexia and decreased vibration sense are frequently observed. [orpha.net]

  Additional features may include hand tremor, dysarthria, hyperreflexia, and saccadic eye movements (summary by {1:Guo et al., 2014}). [diseaseinfosearch.org]

  On examination, both siblings displayed ocular dysmetria, dysdiadokinesia, impaired finger-to-nose exam, gait ataxia and hyperreflexia. [annalsofian.org]

• Recurrent Headache

  This 45-year-old woman first noted gait imbalance at 40 years of age with accompanying dysgraphia, dysarthria, diplopia, short-term memory loss, anxiety, irritability, occasional bouts of insomnia, and recurrent headaches. [ng.neurology.org]

• Altered Mental Status

  She later developed dizziness, insomnia, rapid memory loss, and frequent (up to once weekly) and often prolonged (up to 24 hours) apparent complex partial seizures consisting of altered mental status and automatism. [ng.neurology.org]

Nevertheless, it must be noted that in such a co-occurrence, motor symptoms can often be misjudged in context of a psychiatric illness or attributed to neuroleptic side effects, thus delaying neurological workup and diagnosis. [annalsofian.org]

• White Matter Lesions

  Although the primary pathology in SCA10 in humans is reportedly the loss of Purkinje cells, brain MRI revealed frontal lobe atrophy with white matter lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Ischemic Changes

  MRI of the brain showed mild generalized cerebral atrophy, white matter ischemic changes and an old left parietal small infarct. No disproportional cerebellar atrophy was noted. Electroencephalogram was normal. [journals.plos.org]

In spite of these comparisons, we were able to identify NMS with significant functional impact in patients with SCA10, indicating the need for their systematic screening aiming at optimal treatment and improvement in quality of life. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis is good. Some patients need supportive devices such as a cane or wheelchair for gait impairment. However, several affected patients have lived beyond 80 years of age. [orpha.net]

Prognosis Prognosis is highly variable between the different types but improvement is unlikely. [patient.info]

The prognosis is bleak, with a gradual progression to disability and death within 10-20 years. Ref: Orr, H.T. et al. (1993). Expansion of an unstable CAG trinucleotide repeat in spinocerebellar ataxia type I. Nature Genet. 4, 221-26. [gpnotebook.co.uk]

Etiology SCA14 is caused by missense mutations in the PRKCG gene (19q13.4) encoding protein kinase C gamma (PKC-gamma). Prognosis Prognosis is good. Some patients need supportive devices such as a cane or wheelchair for gait impairment. [orpha.net]

Etiology Linkage to locus 1p21-q21 has been proposed but the gene mutation has not been identified. Prognosis Prognosis is good. SCA19 does not impact life expectancy to any major extent, and some patients live to over 80 years of age. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

This association supports the possible involvement of striatum rather than cerebellum in the etiology of psychiatric symptoms. [annalsofian.org]
