Abstract
Pathogenic variants in STUB1 can be causal under dominant (SCA48) and recessive (SCAR16) inheritance patterns. We report a SCA48 patient with ataxia, dementia and movement disorders. We describe a 45 year-old man with cognitive impairment, ataxia, bradykinesia, tremor and chorea. A NGS-based multigene panel revealed the presence of a novel heterozygous likely pathogenic variant in STUB1 gene confirming a diagnosis of SCA48. Hyper and hypokinetic movement disorders seems to be a hallmark of SCA48. The frequent association of ataxia, chorea and cognitive impairment suggest consider SCA48 as a differential diagnosis of SCA17 and other Huntington-like disorders. Variantes patogénicas en el gen STUB1 pueden manifestarse bajo un patrón autosómico dominante (SCA48) o recesivo (SCAR16) de herencia. Reportamos un paciente con SCA48 con ataxia, demencia y movimientos anormales. Describimos el caso de un varón de 45 años con compromiso cognitivo, ataxia, bradicinesia, temblor y corea. Mediante un panel de ataxias se evidenció la presencia de una variante nueva probablemente patogénica en el gen STUB1, confirmando el diagnóstico de SCA48. Trastornos del movimiento hipo e hipercinéticos demuestran ser una característica de los pacientes con SCA48. La asociación frecuente de ataxia, compromiso cognitivo y corea lleva a considerar SCA48 como diagnóstico diferencial de SCA17 y otras entidades similares a Huntington.
