Segregation is confirmed in the families reported by PMID 34918859 and PMID 31942423; the PMID 35468122 variant is recurrent in a distinct South‑American cohort, satisfying the qualifying‑variant gate. The multicentre Italian cohort (PMID 41483250) adds 27 further patients, confirming the classic macrocephaly, developmental delay, cerebellar ataxia, spasticity and subcortical cysts phenotype.

Phenotypes for gene: KIAA0586 were set to Joubert syndrome 23, MONDO:0014664
Review for gene: KIAA0586 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Across nine studies, 33 families (32 independent) with 37 affected individuals have been reported harbouring biallelic loss‑of‑function KIAA0586 variants. All families present the core Joubert syndrome phenotype – cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, molar‑tooth sign, ataxia, developmental delay and hypotonia – with variable additional features such as chronic airway disease, thoracic dysplasia, ocular‑motor apraxia, epilepsy or SUDEP. Autosomal recessive inheritance is consistently demonstrated (e.g., PMID 26026149 box 30, PMID 26386247 box 31). Functional assays show absent KIAA0586 protein or shortened cilia in patient fibroblasts, but no rescue experiments or orthogonal animal models (e.g., PMID 26026149 box 114; PMID 26386247 box 28). A recurrent frameshift allele (c.428delG) is common (gnomAD AF ≈ 0.003) and observed homozygously in healthy individuals, yet is interpreted as a hypomorphic variant that contributes to disease when paired with a second loss‑of‑function allele. No convincing contradictory evidence has been published. The phenotype’s hallmark ataxia makes KIAA0586 a clear fit for the Ataxia panel, which prioritises genes causing disorders where ataxia is a prominent feature.

Added comment: Liang‑Wang syndrome (loss‑of‑function KCNMA1) is a monoallelic disorder characterised by developmental delay, cognitive impairment, progressive ataxia and movement abnormalities. Across four studies, 12 independent families with de novo LoF variants have been reported (PMID 32132200, PMID 31152168, PMID 35156297, PMID 33178487). A second, recessive loss‑of‑function neurodevelopmental disorder with ataxia has been described in a single compound‑heterozygous family (PMID 31152168); while supportive, it does not meet the family‑count threshold for a diagnostic‑grade rating.

Added comment: Both progressive myoclonic epilepsy with ataxia (MEAK/EPM7) and milder epilepsy with ataxia phenotypes are associated with KCNC1 variants. PMID 28380698, PMID 27629860, PMID 40765656, PMID 32972906 and PMID 34733949 report 31 families (39 patients) with dominant‑negative loss‑of‑function KCNC1 variants causing progressive myoclonus epilepsy, seizures and cerebellar ataxia, fulfilling diagnostic criteria. PMID 31353862, PMID 42347804 and PMID 37203213 describe 6 families (6 patients) with de novo missense KCNC1 variants leading to epilepsy, mild developmental delay and non‑progressive ataxia, also meeting diagnostic criteria. Ataxia is a core feature of both disease spectrums, making KCNC1 a suitable gene for the Ataxia panel.

Added comment: PMID 30970188 reports three families and PMID 35913761 reports two families (total five families, six patients) with biallelic GLS loss‑of‑function variants (5'UTR repeat expansions, frameshift, nonsense or missense coding changes) causing early‑onset developmental delay, progressive cerebellar ataxia and markedly elevated plasma glutamine. Functional studies show ~4‑fold reduced GLS mRNA in patient iPSCs, markedly decreased enzyme activity in patient fibroblasts, and zebrafish glsa knockdown recapitulating neurodevelopmental defects, though rescue experiments are lacking. These findings align with the Ataxia panel because progressive ataxia is a core feature of the panel’s scope of neurological disorders with ataxia.

Added comment: ESHG 2026

7 living individuals from 1 large multigeneration family presenting with early onset (<20yrs but slowly progressive) ataxia, dysarthria, and cerebellar atrophy. WGS (SR and LR) identified a rare heterozygous 2-bp deletion variant in the ATL2 gene. The variant is deeply intronic in the canonical transcript but leads to a frameshift in an alternate transcript (ATL2-2, NM_001330461.2:c.1208_1209del, p.(Arg403Thrfs*6)), which is predominantly expressed in the brain and cerebellum.

The same variant seen in 2 other unrelated families with dominant cerebellar ataxia.

The variant is positioned in the last exon of this transcript, and it is not expected to cause nonsense-mediated decay but likely leads to a protein with an altered C-terminus. Functional analyses were conducted in ATL2/3 double knockout Cos7 cells with different ATL2 isoforms being reintroduced and subsequent measurements of GTPase activity and confocal imaging. These suggested a gain-of-function effect with increased GTPase activity and altered endoplasmatic reticulum morphology. The proposed disease mechanism is a transcript-specific heterozygous gain-of-function.

Ataxia v1.182 UNC13A Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: PMID 41125872 reports 48 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders and UNC13A variants. Of these, 20 classified as pathogenic. Of these 6 individuals had biallelic variants and presented with severe-to-profound GDD or intellectual disability, hypotonia and seizures of different types (largely controllable with medication) or death in early childhood caused by respiratory failure after pneumonia in one case. Mechanism for this subgroup is LoF with carrier parents unaffected.

A second group of 13 patients (21 months to 32 years old) harboured pathogenic, heterozygous de novo missense variants with multiple substitutions at amino acids 808, 811 and 814 (hinge region). They presented with variable degrees of GDD, hypotonia, seizures of different types (mainly refractory to treatment) and typically exhibited ataxia, tremor or dyskinetic movements rarely observed in other patients.

Also a family identified with at least four affected members across two generations (4 years to 35 years old) harbouring a pathogenic heterozygous missense variant (C587F) that caused learning difficulties to mild–moderate intellectual disability as well as controlled seizures.

Three different types of mechanism of pathogenicity proposed.; to: PMID 41125872 reports 13 patients (21 months to 32 years old) with pathogenic, heterozygous de novo missense variants with multiple substitutions at amino acids 808, 811 and 814 (hinge region).

Ataxia v1.174 CLCN2 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Association with hyperaldosteronism: Familial hyperaldosteronism type II is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hypertension due to increased aldosterone, often with hypokalemia. Patients usually present before age 20 years, although some may present in infancy. The disorder shows incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity; some patients may have normal blood pressure but have an increased aldosterone:renin ratio (ARR) on laboratory testing. At least 6 unrelated families reported. Note bi-allelic variants cause a different phenotype.

Association with leukodystrophy: At least six families reported, three with adult onset and three with childhood onset.; to: Association with leukodystrophy is the one relevant to this panel: At least six families reported, three with adult onset and three with childhood onset.

Additionally, 4 individuals from 3 families (F11, F12, F13) with 2 de novo missense and a stopgain had similar phenotypes consisting of a neurodevelopmental syndrome with progressive cognitive deficits and spasticity. F14 was a singleton with a missense variant and HMSN & optic atrophy. Initially included in the cohort for gait ataxia, was found to be a sensory ataxia. There were supporting in vitro functional assays and Drosophila rescue models that suggest partial loss of function as the disease mechanism, but were unable to differentiate the genotype-phenotype correlation for the cerebellar ataxia phenotype vs the neurodevelopmental syndrome.

- 17 individuals from 14 unrelated families: 5 affected individuals with biallelic variants, presented with early-onset progressive myoclonus epilepsy with ataxia; 12 individuals carried de novo missense variants and showed severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.
- The mean age of onset was 11.8+/-7.5 years for individuals carrying the compound heterozygous variants and 5.8+/-4.2 months for individuals with the de novo variants.
- The R740Q variant, which alone accounts for ~50% of the mutations identified among our cases, leads to failure of lysosomal hydrolysis by directly impairing acidification of the endolysosomal compartment, causing autophagic dysfunction and severe developmental defect in C. elegans.

Added comment: Childhood-onset parkinsonism-dystonia-3 (PKDYS3) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder with onset in infancy or early childhood. Affected individuals present with progressive movement abnormalities, including parkinsonism with tremor, dystonia, myoclonus ataxia, and hyperkinetic movements such as ballismus. The parkinsonism features may be responsive to treatment with levodopa, although many patients develop levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Some patients may have mild cognitive impairment or psychiatric disturbances. 8 individuals from 4 families reported.

NEMMLAS is an autosomal recessive multisystemic disorder characterized by delayed psychomotor development, intellectual disability, and abnormal motor function, including hypotonia, dystonia, ataxia, and spasticity. Patient tissues may show deficiencies in one or more of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) enzymes, but this is not a constant finding. 12 individuals from 8 unrelated families reported.

It is unclear whether these are two distinct disorders or whether they represent a spectrum of severity for a single condition.

Added comment: Al Tassan et al. (2012) reported 4 sibs, from consanguineous Saudi Arabian family, with ataxia-oculomotor apraxia. The proband developed progressive unsteady gait and had frequent falls at age 14 years with later onset of arm dysmetria and dysarthria. He became wheelchair-bound at age 23. Ocular movement was impaired, with slowed saccadic eye movements and head-eye lag resulting in head thrust, but smooth pursuit was normal. He had severe limb and axial dysmetria with mild distal atrophy and weakness affecting the lower limbs more than the upper limbs. He also had distal sensory impairment, more prominent in the lower limbs, areflexia, and axonal sensory polyneuropathy with absent sensory nerve action potentials in the lower limbs. Laboratory studies showed increased level of alpha-fetoprotein, and brain MRI showed atrophy of the cerebellar folia and vermis. His 3 sibs were similarly affected. A homozygous mutation in the PIK3R5 gene (P629S) was found by linkage analysis followed by sequencing of the genes within the region.

Added comment: 2 different consanguineous families with 2 affected siblings with ataxia (1 paediatric onset, 1 adult onset). 3 of the patients had cerebellar atrophy. WES identified homozygous variants in CHP1 gene in both families (K19del and Arg91Cys), which segregated with the disorder in the family.

Decreased CHP1 protein on IHC of cerebellar tissue in family with Arg91Cys variant. In vitro functional expression studies in HEK293 cells showed that the K19del mutation resulted in decreased protein expression, with normal levels of transcript, suggesting defects in protein stability. The mutant protein formed massive protein aggregates in transfected neuronal cell bodies and neurite-like projections, whereas the wildtype protein showed a more uniform distribution. The mutant protein altered CHP1 association into functional complexes and impaired membrane localization of the Na+/H+ transporter NHE1. The findings indicated that the CHP1 mutation likely causes ataxia in an NHE1-dependent manner, resembling the mechanism observed in the Chp1 vacillator mutant mouse.

Review for gene: RNF220 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Sferra et al (2021 - PMID: 33964137) provide extensive evidence that biallelic RNF220 mutations cause a disorder characterized by hypomyelinating leukodystrophy, ataxia (9/9 - onset 1-5y), borderline intellectual functioning (3/9) / intellectual disability (5/9 - in most cases mild), sensorineural deafness (9/9) with complete hearing loss in the first decade of life, hepatopathy (9/9) with associated periportal fibrosis, and dilated cardiomyopathy (9/9) which was fatal.

Other neurologic manifestations apart from ataxia incl. hyperreflexia (8/8), spastic paraplegia (9/9), dysarthria (9/9), peripheral neuropathy (4/9), seizures in one case (1/9). Upon brain MRI there was thin corpus callosum (9/9) or cerebellar atrophy in some (2/9).

The authors identified homozygosity for 2 recurrent missense RNF220 variants in affected members belonging to these 5 broad consanguineous pedigrees (7 families), namely NM_018150.4:c.1094G>A / p.Arg365Gly in 4 Roma families in the context of a shared haplotype (/founder effect) as well as c.1088G>A / p.Arg363Gly in a large pedigree from southern Italy initially reported by Leuzzi et al (2000 - PMID: 10881263).

Extensive segregation analyses were carried out including several affected and unaffected members.

RNF220 encodes ring finger protein 220, which functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Previous studies have shown among others a role in modulation of Sonic hedgehog/GLI signaling and cerebellar development

Evidence for the role of RNF220 included relevant expression, localization within the cell, interaction partners (lamin B1, 20S proteasome), similarities with other laminopathies in terms of phenotype, etc :
*RNF220 has a relevant expression pattern in CNS (based on qRT-PCR analyses in human brain, cerebellum, cerebral cortex / mRNA levels in human fetal CNS with higher expression in cerebellum, spinal cord and cortex / previous GTEx data / protein levels in mouse CNS)
*The protein displays nuclear localization based on iPSC cells differentiated to motor neurons (also supported by data from the Human Protein Atlas). Transfection of COS-1 cells demonstrated localization primarily to the nucleus (as also previously demonstrated in HEK293T cells) in vesicle like structures with ASF2/SF2 colocalization suggesting enrichment in nuclear speckles. There was also partial co-distribution with the 20S proteasome. R363Q and R365Q additionally coalesced in the cytoplasm forming protein aggregates/inclusions.
*Immunofluorescence studies in patient fibroblasts also confirmed abnormal increase of the protein in the cytoplasm and increased fluorescence with the 20S proteasome.
*Proteomic identification of RNF220-interacting proteins in transfected HEK293T cells demonstrated enrichment for all members of the lamin protein family (incl . lamin B1, AC, B2).
*RNAi-mediated downregulation of RNF222 in Drosophila suggested altered subcellular localization and accumulation of the fly orthologue for human lamin B1.
*Immunoprecipitation of lamin B1 from the nuclear matrix of cerebellar cells suggested significant interaction of endogenous lamin B1 with RNF220, while transfection studies in HEK293T cells for wt/mt suggested reduced binding to endogenous lamin B1 for RNF220 mt compared to wt (more prominent for R365Q). RNF220 mutants also reduced ubiquitination of nuclear lamin B1 compared to wt.
*Patient fibroblasts immunostained with different nuclear envelope markers displayed abnormal nuclear shapes with multiple invaginations and lobulations, findings also observed in laminopathies.

Ataxia v0.288 PRDX3 Zornitza Stark gene: PRDX3 was added
gene: PRDX3 was added to Ataxia - paediatric. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: PRDX3 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: PRDX3 were set to 33889951
Phenotypes for gene: PRDX3 were set to Cerebellar ataxia (early onset, mild to moderate, progressive)
Review for gene: PRDX3 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Biallelic variants in 5 unrelated families with early onset (median 21 years , range 13-22 years) with ataxia with variable additional hyper- and hypokinetic movement disorders, and severe early-onset cerebellar atrophy (seen on MRI), and involvement of the brainstem, medullary olive and parietal cortex.

Evolution of the disease was gait ataxia leading to upper limb ataxia, then dysarthria and then dysphagia, all within a decade. For some of these patients, the phenotype included myoclonus, dystonia and / or tremor. Mild classical mitochondrial features were seen in one of the patients, namely ptosis and COX-negative fibres.

The variants were homozygous nonsense, homozygous frameshift, homozygous missense, and a compound heterozygote with a splice variant and missense, all leading to complete loss of the protein. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction was indicated as the disease mechanism.

The families originated from Germany, France, India and two from eastern Turkey. The two families from Turkey were seemingly unrelated to each other but had the same homozygous missense.

Patient fibroblasts from each of the five probands showed lack of protein (via Western blot) and decreased glutathione peroxidase activity and decreased mitochondrial maximal respiratory capacity.

PRDX3 encodes peroxiredoxin 3, a mitochondrial antioxidant protein, that catalyses the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. It localises in the mitochondria, where most hydrogen peroxide is generated.

Functional studies: PRDX3 knockdown (induced by silencing RNA against PRDX3) in cerebellar medulloblastoma cells showed significantly decreased cell viability, increased hydrogen peroxide levels and increased susceptibility to apoptosis triggered by reactive oxygen species.

In addition, induced knockdown drosophila (in vivo animal model) had aberrant locomotor phenotypes and reduced lifespans, while immunolabelling of the brain showed increased cell death after exposure to oxidative stress.

Added comment: Three cases in two unrelated consanguineous families with homozygous loss of function variants, with ataxia as a feature of the condition. Multiple null model organisms recapitulate the human phenotype: Null mouse model had cystic kidneys, a phenotype common to ciliopathies. Reducing Cby levels in Xenopus laevis model reduced the density of multiciliated cells, the number of basal bodies per multiciliated cell, and the numbers of neural tube primary cilia; it also led to abnormal development of the neural crest, central nervous system, and pronephros. Depletion of cby1 in zebrafish results in ciliopathy‐related phenotypes.

A LoF zebrafish model resulted in a variety of morphological defects including shortened and curved tails/bodies, reduced eye/head size and oedema. Functional studies of the variants in budding yeast and cultured cells showed some defects in RNA exosome function and interactions, that could not be explained by decrease in the steady-state level of EXOSC5.
