Abstract
We report a case of SYNE1-associated autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia (SCAR8) presenting with a complex multisystemic phenotype, including highly elevated creatine kinase levels and lower-leg muscle atrophy. In addition to identifying two novel pathogenic variants in the SYNE1 gene, whole-exome sequencing revealed three variants of uncertain significance in the DYSF gene. Electromyography and muscle magnetic resonance imaging indicated a neurogenic pattern of muscle involvement. These findings, along with the segregation analysis of the variants, allowed us to exclude DYSF-associated muscular dystrophy; however, we cannot entirely rule out the possibility that the DYSF gene variants may act as modifiers of the patient's phenotype.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Molecular Sciences (ISSN 1422-0067) provides an advanced forum for chemistry, molecular physics (chemical physics and physical chemistry) and molecular biology. It publishes research articles, reviews, communications and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their theoretical and experimental results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers or the number of electronics supplementary files. For articles with computational results, the full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material (including animated pictures, videos, interactive Excel sheets, software executables and others).
