Abstract
Genetic mutations in transglutaminase 6 (TGM6) are recently identified to be associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 35 (SCA35). We report a Hispanic SCA35 patient, who was confirmed to have a heterozygous, single-nucleotide deletion in TGM6, causing a frameshift mutation with a premature stop codon. An immune-mediated ataxia previously found to be associated with autoantibody reactivity to TG6 may share a similar pathomechanism to SCA35, suggesting a converging role for TG6 in cerebellar function.Entities:
