We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, SciELO, and Web of Science databases, including studies published from inception to January 2025. We included 27 studies for the systematic review and 18 studies for the meta-analysis that met the inclusion criteria, representing a total of 5859 participants across eleven countries. Our meta-analysis revealed that about 50% (95% CI 26-74%) of hereditary ataxias in Latin America were confirmed to have a genetic diagnosis of SCA. The included participants with a known SCA have the following proportions: MJD/SCA3 (15%), SCA2 (11%), SCA7 (4%), SCA10 (3%), and SCA1 (3%). Geographic distributions were notable, MJD/SCA3 in Brazil, SCA2 in Cuba, Argentina and Mexico, SCA10 predominating in Peru, and SCA7 in Venezuela. Recently identified SCA types, like SCA27B and one case of SCA4, were identified in Brazil. In 22 countries there are no published studies on the epidemiology of SCAs. The distribution of SCAs in Latin America reflects the influence of historical migrations, founder effects, and ancestries, emphasizing regional heterogeneity.

Any disorder involving the pontocerebellar fibers can manifest the HCB sign following the gliosis changes or infarction-mediated damage to the region, whether due to gliosis changes. The range of diseases linked to the HCB sign is broader than previously recognized, as numerous disorders affect the transverse pontocerebellar fibers and cause radiologic HCB manifestation.

SCA14 results from heterozygous gain-of-function pathogenic variants in PRKCG, which encodes protein kinase Cγ. The aim was to elucidate the molecular mechanism of disease in a 60-year-old man with SCA14 due to a novel heterozygous variant in PRKCG c.154T > C p.(C52R). Next-generation sequencing was completed in the proband, targeted variant analysis was conducted in his family, and biochemical functional assays were performed. The C52R variant segregated with disease. Like other C1A domain variants, it had increased basal activity yet was unresponsive to agonist stimulation and was relatively resistant to down-regulation. This expands the genetic landscape of SCA14 and supports the condition as a gain-of-function disease, with variants in the C1A domain having leaky activity yet unresponsiveness to agonist stimulation.</p>","PeriodicalId":50706,"journal":{"name":"Cerebellum","volume":"24 3","pages":"65"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
