Added comment: Four independent families (PMID 31673819, PMID 26014431, PMID 35132535, PMID 29756269) with X‑linked PDHA1 loss‑of‑function or de novo missense variants present with cerebellar ataxia, developmental delay, lactic acidosis and other neurological signs; an additional prenatal case (PMID 41760389) expands the phenotypic spectrum.

Ataxia v2.136 NOTCH2NLC_NIID_GGC Bryony Thompson changed review comment from: NM_001364012.2:c.-164GGC[X]
Expanded repeat in NOTCH2NLC sequence is (GGC)9(GGA)2(GGC)2.
Large number of families and sporadic cases reported with expansions, with a range of neurodegenerative phenotypes, including: dementia, Parkinsonism/tremor, peripheral neuropathy, leukoencephalopathy, myopathy, motor neurone disease.
Normal repeat range: 4-40, 1 control had 61 repeats and may have been a presymptomatic carrier.
Intermediate range: 41-60 identified in Parkinson's disease
Pathogenic repeat range: >=60-520
Mechanism of disease is translation of repeat expansion into a toxic polyglycine protein, identified in both mouse models and tissue samples from affected individuals.

Ataxia v2.64 GLS Bryony Thompson gene: GLS was added
gene: GLS was added to Ataxia. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: GLS was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: GLS were set to 38877099; 38260514; 35913761; 30970188
Phenotypes for gene: GLS were set to glutaminase deficiency, MONDO:0600001
Review for gene: GLS was set to GREEN
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.

Ataxia v1.136 CACNA1A_SCA6_CAG Bryony Thompson STR: CACNA1A_SCA6_CAG was added
STR: CACNA1A_SCA6_CAG was added to Ataxia. Sources: Expert List
Mode of inheritance for STR: CACNA1A_SCA6_CAG was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for STR: CACNA1A_SCA6_CAG were set to 20301319; 29325606
Phenotypes for STR: CACNA1A_SCA6_CAG were set to Spinocerebellar ataxia 6 MIM#183086; Episodic ataxia, type 2 MIM#108500
Review for STR: CACNA1A_SCA6_CAG was set to GREEN
STR: CACNA1A_SCA6_CAG was marked as clinically relevant
STR: CACNA1A_SCA6_CAG was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: NM_023035.2:c.6929_6931CAG[X]
PolyQ expansion alters gene binding, impairs transcription factor function, and is toxic to cells expressing the α1ACT – effects consistent with a loss of function
Normal: ≤18 repeats
Questionable significance: 19 CAG repeats
Full penetrance: ≥20 repeats

Added comment: Cohort of paediatric-onset SCA2 cases. The infantile onset group (n=9) had expansions ≥88 repeats, and the juvenile onset group (n=13) had expansions ≥43 repeats. Paediatric SCA2 phenotype includes developmental delay and seizures (infantile-onset) and cerebellar degeneration similar to adults in the juvenile group.

Ataxia v0.212 CACNA1A Bryony Thompson Added comment: Comment on list classification: Ataxia can be caused by a triplet repeat expansion in this gene, which is not detectable with current WES/WGS technologies. However, SNVs have also been reported as disease-causing.
Ataxia v0.117 FXN Bryony Thompson gene: FXN was added
gene: FXN was added to Ataxia - paediatric. Sources: Expert list
STR tags were added to gene: FXN.
