Pathological aggregation of a specific protein into insoluble aggregates is a common hallmark of various neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). In the earlier literature, each NDD is characterized by the aggregation of one or two pathogenic proteins, which can serve as disease-specific biomarkers. The aggregation of these specific proteins is thought to be a major cause of or deleterious result in most NDDs.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a dominantly inherited ataxia primarily characterised by progressive cerebellar syndrome, which is developed due to the expansion of the CAG trinucleotide repeat within the first exon of the ATXN2 gene. We report a rare case of a 41-year-old woman with coexistent genetically verified SCA2 and primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Considering our case and a few others reported in the literature, as well as a possible genetic association between ATXN2 and MS susceptibility, we suggest that the coexistence of SCA and MS may not be coincidental, especially in patients with a progressive MS course.

Introduction: Kabuki syndrome (KS) and spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) are both rare conditions with neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Approaching a patient with complex phenotypes and differentiating the role of mutations may be beneficial but challenging in predicting the disease prognosis.
Case Presentation: A boy presented with progressive ataxia, developmental regression, and myoclonus since 4 years of age.

ATX-FGF14 (formerly spinocerebellar ataxia 27, OMIM #193003) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by a pathogenic variant in the fibroblast growth factor 14 (, OMIM #601515) gene located on chromosome 13. The phenotypic expression can vary in patients with the same genotype, often delaying diagnosis, especially in probands without known affected relatives and/or with limited available family history. We describe 2 cases of ATX-FGF14 in 1 family with a focus on the importance of differentiating episodic manifestations of neurogenetic conditions from inflammatory/autoimmune neurologic conditions.
