Background And Purpose: Spinocerebellar ataxia 21 (SCA21) is a rare autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by TMEM240 gene mutations. To date, SCA21 has been reported only in a limited number of families worldwide. Here, we describe clinical and molecular findings in five additional SCA21 patients from four unrelated families, diagnosed through a multicentre next generation sequencing-based molecular screening project on a large cohort of patients with degenerative and congenital ataxias.
