Description |
Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 7 (SCA7) is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with progressive vision loss. SCA7 exhibits marked genetic anticipation, caused by expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeat within the ATXN7 gene during parent-to-child transmission. Neurologic defects include ataxia, dysarthria, dysphagia, and pyramidal signs. Visual symptoms include progressive central vision loss, photosensitivity, dyschromatopsia, optic atrophy, nystagmus, and difficulties with saccades and pursuits. |
