Heredoataxia cerebelosa recesiva ARCA1/SCAR8: primeras familias detectadas en España
Bibliographic record
Abstract
La ARCA1/SCAR8 es una heredoataxia recesiva causada por mutaciones en el gen SYNE1, que fue descrita inicialmente en familias francocanadienses (Quebec) con un síndrome cerebeloso puro. En la actualidad se reporta cada vez más este tipo de ataxia en otras partes del mundo y con un fenotipo muy variable. Recientemente se han notificado casos de distrofia muscular, artrogriposis y miocardiopatía por mutaciones de este gen. Describir los hallazgos clínicos y moleculares en 3 familias españolas de diferente origen geográfico, las primeras en las que se confirmó el diagnóstico de ARCA1/SCAR8 con análisis molecular. Evaluación clínica, pruebas paraclínicas y estudio genético en 4 pacientes (3 varones y una mujer), diagnosticados en distintos servicios de neurología españoles. Los síntomas cerebelosos comenzaron en todos los casos en la tercera-cuarta décadas. Tras 15 años de evolución, 3 pacientes presentaban un síndrome cerebeloso puro similar a la descripción original, mientras que un paciente con más de 30 años de evolución presentaba también parálisis de mirada vertical, afectación piramidal y moderado deterioro cognitivo. El estudio de resonancia magnética mostró en todos los casos atrofia restringida al cerebelo. La secuenciación de SYNE1 permitió identificar distintas variantes patogénicas en cada familia. La ARCA1/SCAR8 tiene una distribución mundial con una gran diversidad de mutaciones en SYNE1. Además de ataxia puede dar lugar a un complejo fenotipo de inicio y gravedad muy variable. Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (ARCA1/SCAR8) is caused by mutations of the SYNE1 gene. The disease was initially described in families from Quebec (Canada) with a phenotype of pure cerebellar syndrome, but in recent years has been reported with a more variable clinical phenotype in other countries. Cases have recently been described of muscular dystrophy, arthrogryposis, and cardiomyopathy due to SYNE1 mutations. To describe clinical and molecular findings from 4 patients (3 men and one woman) diagnosed with ARCA1/SCAR8 from 3 Spanish families from different regions. We describe the clinical, paraclinical, and genetic results from 4 patients diagnosed with ARCA1/SCAR8 at different Spanish neurology departments. Onset occurred in the third or fourth decade of live in all patients. After 15 years of progression, 3 patients presented pure cerebellar syndrome, similar to the Canadian patients; the fourth patient, with over 30 years’ progression, presented vertical gaze palsy, pyramidal signs, and moderate cognitive impairment. In all patients, MRI studies showed cerebellar atrophy. The genetic study revealed distinct pathogenic SYNE1 mutations in each family. ARCA1/SCAR8 can be found worldwide and may be caused by many distinct mutations in the SYNE1 gene. The disease may manifest with a complex phenotype of varying severity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
