Abstract
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10) is an autosomal dominant inherited ataxia caused by the expansion of ATTCT pentanucleotide repeats in intron 9 of the ATXN10 gene. This rare form of SCA has predominantly been observed in individuals of Indigenous American and East Asian descent. Notably, in Mexico and the southern Brazilian states of Paraná and Santa Catarina, SCA10 is identified as the second most prevalent type of spinocerebellar ataxia. Initially, the phenotype described in Mexico featured a combination of cerebellar ataxia and epilepsy-a presentation also observed in other Latin American and Asian countries, as well as some Brazilian states. However, in Paraná and Santa Catarina, the predominant manifestation of SCA10 is pure cerebellar ataxia, which is distinguished from the presentations seen in other regions.
期刊介绍：
Official publication of the Society for Research on the Cerebellum devoted to genetics of cerebellar ataxias, role of cerebellum in motor control and cognitive function, and amid an ageing population, diseases associated with cerebellar dysfunction.
The Cerebellum is a central source for the latest developments in fundamental neurosciences including molecular and cellular biology; behavioural neurosciences and neurochemistry; genetics; fundamental and clinical neurophysiology; neurology and neuropathology; cognition and neuroimaging.
The Cerebellum benefits neuroscientists in molecular and cellular biology; neurophysiologists; researchers in neurotransmission; neurologists; radiologists; paediatricians; neuropsychologists; students of neurology and psychiatry and others.
