Abstract

Hereditary ataxias are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous family of disorders defined by the inability to control gait and muscle coordination. Given the nonspecific symptoms of many hereditary ataxias, precise diagnosis relies on molecular genetic testing. To this end, we conducted whole-exome sequencing (WES) on a large consanguineous Iranian family with hereditary ataxia and oculomotor apraxia. WES in five affected and six unaffected individuals resulted in the identification of a homozygous novel stop-gain mutation in the APTX gene (c.739A>T; p.Lys247*) that segregates with the phenotype. Mutations in the APTX (OMIM 606350) gene are associated with ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1 (OMIM 208920).
