Spinocerebellar ataxia 7 (SCA7) is an inherited disease of the central nervous system that leads to impairment of specific nerve fibers carrying messages to and from the brain, resulting in degeneration of the cerebellum (the coordination center of the brain). SCA7 differs from most other forms of SCA in that visual problems, rather than poor coordination, are generally the earliest signs of the disease. Affected individuals have progressive changes in vision (which can result in blindness); symptoms of ataxia ; slow eye movements; and mild changes in sensation or reflexes. Later symptoms include loss of motor control, unclear speech (dysarthria ), and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia ). Onset in early childhood or infancy has an especially rapid and aggressive course often associated with failure to thrive and regression of motor milestones. SCA7 is caused by mutations in the ATXN7 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Treatment is generally symptomatic and supportive.
MalaCards based summary : Spinocerebellar Ataxia 7, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia type 7, is related to spinocerebellar ataxia 1 and spinocerebellar ataxia 36, and has symptoms including abnormality of extrapyramidal motor function, muscle spasticity and abnormal pyramidal signs. An important gene associated with Spinocerebellar Ataxia 7 is ATXN7 (Ataxin 7), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Deubiquitination and Chromatin organization. The drugs Riluzole and Excitatory Amino Acid Antagonists have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include eye, cerebellum and brain, and related phenotypes are hyperreflexia and dysarthria Disease Ontology : 12 An autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia that is characterized by ataxia, progressive vision loss, and failure to thrive, has material basis in mutation in the ATXN7 gene. OMIM : 56 Spinocerebellar ataxia-7 (SCA7) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by adult onset of progressive cerebellar ataxia associated with pigmental macular dystrophy. In her classification of ataxia, Harding (1982) referred to progressive cerebellar ataxia with pigmentary macular degeneration as type II ADCA (autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia). The age at onset, degree of severity, and rate of progression vary among and within families. Associated neurologic signs, such as ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal or extrapyramidal signs, deep sensory loss, or dementia, are also variable. Genetic anticipation is observed and is greater in paternal than in maternal transmissions (Benomar et al., 1994; summary by David et al., 1996). For a general discussion of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia, see SCA1 (164400). (164500) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 73 Spinocerebellar ataxia 7: Spinocerebellar ataxia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA7 belongs to the autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias type II (ADCA II) which are characterized by cerebellar ataxia with retinal degeneration and pigmentary macular dystrophy.
