This convergence pointed to SEMA6A as a candidate contributor to migration-related brain abnormalities. We further examined the relationship between SEMA6A and FLNA, an established disease gene for periventricular nodular heterotopia. Protein-protein interaction analysis revealed that SEMA6A and FLNA are connected within a network through Rho/Rac signaling effectors.

We report four unrelated Japanese patients with SCAR32 identified among 411 ataxia cases negative for repeat expansion disorders. Age at onset was 9-30 years, with a predominantly pure cerebellar phenotype; one patient had autoimmune comorbidities. MRI showed cerebellar atrophy and T2 hyperintensity in dentate nuclei in all patients, and three had cerebellar cortical T2 hyperintensity, a potentially representative feature of SCAR32. Genetic analysis identified one homozygous and three compound heterozygous PRDX3 nonsense variants: the previously reported p.Arg207* in all patients, p.Arg170* in two, and novel p.Gln50* in one. The relatively high p.Arg207* allele frequency in East Asians and the 0.97% prevalence in our undiagnosed ataxia cohort support SCAR32 as an important cause of early-onset autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia in Japan.</p>","PeriodicalId":16077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148794181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
