Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a variety of symptoms that typically emerge due to mutations in the ATXN7 gene. This condition, inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, affects the central nervous system, leading to a wide range of physical and neurological challenges. Understanding the symptoms and genetic underpinnings […]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is a progressive, genetic disorder characterized by poor coordination of speech, and gait abnormalities. It is caused by a mutation in the CACNA1A gene, which is crucial for the proper functioning of nerve cells, particularly in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls coordination and balance. Understanding the […]

In the realm of genetic testing and diagnosis, the advancements have been monumental, offering insights into conditions that were once shrouded in mystery. Among these conditions is Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 4 (SCA4), a rare, inherited neurological disorder characterized by progressive difficulties with coordination and movement. At DNA Labs UAE, we offer a comprehensive genetic test […]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 36 (SCA36) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by a combination of motor system symptoms and various other neurological impairments. This condition is caused by mutations in the NOP56 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Understanding the symptoms and undergoing genetic testing for this condition can provide critical insights […]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 35 (SCA35), caused by mutations in the TGM6 gene, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It is characterized by a progressive loss of coordination and balance, which are hallmark symptoms of conditions affecting the cerebellum – the part of the brain that controls movement coordination. Understanding the symptoms […]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 31 (SCA31) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive ataxia, which affects coordination and balance. This condition is part of a group of genetic disorders known as autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias, which are caused by degeneration of the cerebellum and its associated pathways. Among the genes associated with this condition, the BEAN1 […]
Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the cerebellum—the part of the brain that controls muscle movement. This condition is caused by a genetic mutation in the ATXN3 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. This means that only one copy of the […]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 29 (SCA29) is a rare genetic disorder that is congenital and nonprogressive. It is characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia, which affects coordination and balance. This condition is caused by mutations in the ITPR1 gene, which plays a crucial role in the signaling pathways within cells, particularly in the cerebellum, which is the […]
In the realm of genetic testing, understanding the nuances of specific genes and their associated conditions is paramount for both patients and healthcare professionals. One such gene, the AFG3L2 gene, is linked to Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 28 (SCA28), a condition that falls under the category of autosomal dominant genetic disorders. This article aims to shed […]
