A novel pathogenic variant in TDP2 causes spinocerebellar ataxia autosomal recessive 23 accompanied by pituitary tumor and hyperhidrosis: a case report
摘要
TDP2 gene encodes tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 2, an enzyme required for effective repair of the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Spinocerebellar ataxia autosomal recessive 23 (SCAR23) is a rare disease caused by the pathogenic mutation of TDP2 gene and characterized by intellectual disability, progressive ataxia and refractory epilepsy. Thus far, merely nine patients harboring five different variants (c.425 + 1G > A; c.413_414delinsAA, p. Ser138*; c.400C > T, p. Arg134*; c.636 + 3_ 636 + 6 del; c.4G > T, p. Glu2*) in TDP2 gene have been reported. Here, we describe the tenth patient with a novel variant (c.650del, p. Gly217GlufsTer7) and new phenotype (pituitary tumor and hyperhidrosis).
