BACKGROUND: SCA27B caused by FGF14 intronic heterozygous GAA expansions with at
least 250 repeats accounts for 10-60% of cases with unresolved cerebellar
ataxia. We aimed to assess the size and frequency of FGF14 expanded alleles in
individuals with cerebellar ataxia as compared with controls and to characterize
genetic and clinical variability.
METHODS: We sized this repeat in 1876 individuals from France sampled for
research purposes in this cross-sectional study: 845 index cases with cerebellar
ataxia and 324 affected relatives, 475 controls, as well as 119 cases with
spastic paraplegia, and 113 with familial essential tremor.
FINDINGS: A higher frequency of expanded allele carriers in index cases with
ataxia was significant only above 300 GAA repeats (10.1%, n = 85) compared with
controls (1.1%, n = 5) (p
