摘要
目的:探讨以震颤为主要特征的脊髓小脑性共济失调(spinocerebellar ataxia,SCA)3型临床特征,并分
析一个以震颤等锥体外系体征和周围神经病变为特征的家系,为临床诊断提供依据。方法:收集以震颤为
特征的SCA 3 型患者10例,其中4例为同一家系;对6例非家系患者、4例家系患者及其家系成员(5例)的临
床特征、影像学、基因检测和药物反应性等进行总结,并进行相关文献复习。结果:家系中共9例患者,4例
经基因检测确诊(ATXN3基因CAG重复57~58次,Sanger验证60~62次),5例疑似患者。核心特征:4例
确诊者中2例以震颤为主症(姿势性/动作性震颤、活动加重),1例伴运动迟缓及癫痫史,1例伴周围神经病
变。头颅MRI未见明显萎缩。与其他CAG重复66~73次的典型SCA3患者(以共济失调为主)相比,本家
系患者震颤症状显著,经美多芭治疗部分缓解。结论:SCA3临床表型可能与CAG重复次数相关(60~62次
以震颤/运动迟缓为主,66~73次以共济失调为主),需重视非典型症状识别,基因检测为确诊关键。
Abstract
To explore the clinical features of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) characterized by
tremor as the main feature, and to analyze a family with extrapyramidal signs such as tremor and peripheral
neuropathy, providing a basis for clinical diagnosis. Methods: Ten SCA3 patients characterized by tremor were
collected, including 4 from the same family. The clinical features, imaging, genetic testing, and drug
responsiveness of 6 non-family patients, 4 familial patients, and their family members (5 cases) were
summarized, along with a review of related literature. Results: Among the 9 patients in the family, 4 were
diagnosed through genetic testing (ATXN3 gene CAG repeats 57~58 times, Sanger validation 60~62 times),
and 5 were suspected patients. Among the 4 confirmed cases, 2 presented with tremor as the main symptom
(postural/action tremor, exacerbated by activity), 1 was accompanied by bradykinesia and a history of epilepsy,
and 1 had peripheral neuropathy. No significant atrophy was observed on brain MRI. Compared with typical
SCA3 patients with CAG repeats 66~73 times (mainly ataxia), tremor symptoms were significant in this family,
partially relieved by Madopar treatment. Conclusion: The clinical phenotype of SCA3 may be related to the
number of CAG repeats (60~62 repeats mainly presenting as tremor/bradykinesia, 66~73 repeats mainly as
ataxia). It is necessary to pay attention to the identification of atypical symptoms, with genetic testing being
crucial for diagnosis.
