Cerebellar and Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia
Gene: CA8Cerebellar ataxia listed in OMIM
PMID: 31693170, VCGS publication - 1 child with homozygous PTC and progressive cerebellar atrophy, poor oromotor coordination, marked cerebellar dysarthria. Paper reviews other findings for this gene (very few) and notes MRI findings of one additional patient with cerebellar hypoplasia, and another with cerebellar volume loss. Another patient is reported with cerebellar ataxia but had no MRI (PMID: 19461874).
