A novel KCND3 variant in the N-terminus impairs the ionic current of Kv4.3 and is associated with SCA19/22.

Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal dominant movement disorders. Among the SCAs associated with impaired ion channel function, SCA19/22 is caused by pathogenic variants in KCND3, which encodes the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv4.3.
