Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 14 (SCAR14) is a rare, inherited brain disorder. It mainly affects the cerebellum, which controls balance, movement, and eye control. Children usually show delayed milestones first. They may sit, stand, or walk later than other children. As they grow, unsteady walking and poor coordination appear. Eye movement problems are common. Brain scans often show shrinkage (atrophy) of the cerebellum. Thinking and learning problems can occur. SCAR14 is caused by harmful changes (variants) in a gene called SPTBN2, and a child must inherit one non-working copy from each parent. malacards.org+2alliancegenome.org+2
Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 14 (SCAR14) is a rare, inherited brain disorder that mainly affects the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance, eye movements, speech, and coordination. Children usually have global developmental delay and later develop gait ataxia (unsteady walking), hand clumsiness, abnormal eye movements, and sometimes intellectual disability. Brain scans often show cerebellar atrophy (shrinkage). “Autosomal recessive” means a child must inherit a faulty gene from both parents to be affected. SCAR14 is most often caused by pathogenic variants in SPTBN2, the gene that codes for β-III spectrin, a structural protein that keeps nerve cell membranes and synapses stable in the cerebellum. malacards.org+2PLOS+2
How it differs from “SCA14.” Medical names can be confusing: SCA14 (without “autosomal recessive”) usually refers to a dominant ataxia linked to the PRKCG gene, which is a different disease and inheritance pattern. In contrast, SCAR14 is recessive and most often involves SPTBN2. Using the correct name prevents mix-ups in genetic testing and counseling. Wikipedia
Scientifically, SPTBN2 encodes β-III spectrin, a scaffold protein that helps Purkinje cells in the cerebellum keep their shape and move cargo inside the cell. When β-III spectrin does not work, Purkinje cells malfunction and slowly degenerate. This leads to ataxia and eye movement problems. Homozygous or compound-heterozygous SPTBN2 variants are the usual cause of SCAR14. genecards.org+1
Other names
This condition is also called:
- SCAR14 (Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 14)
- Spectrin-associated autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia
- SPTBN2-related autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia
- Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 14
All of these names refer to the same disorder linked to recessive SPTBN2 variants. orpha.net+1
Types
There are no official subtypes inside SCAR14, but doctors often group patients by age at onset and key features. These “types” are practical categories to help with care and counseling:
Infantile-onset SCAR14 – global developmental delay in infancy, early hypotonia, very early gait ataxia, and eye movement problems; cerebellar atrophy is common on MRI. malacards.org
Childhood-onset SCAR14 – delayed motor milestones, unsteady gait in early childhood, limb incoordination, speech delay or dysarthria, and cerebellar atrophy on MRI. malacards.org
SCAR14 with prominent eye movement signs – noticeable nystagmus, hypometric saccades, jerky pursuit, and convergent squint alongside gait ataxia. malacards.org
SCAR14 with intellectual disability – various levels of learning difficulty combined with ataxia and cerebellar atrophy. malacards.org
(These categories reflect patterns reported across summaries of recessive SPTBN2 disease; they are not official genetic subtypes.) malacards.org
Causes
Remember: SCAR14 is monogenic—the root cause is harmful variants in SPTBN2. Below are 20 practical “causes” describing the specific ways variants and downstream biology lead to disease expression:
Biallelic SPTBN2 loss-of-function variants (both copies altered) cause Purkinje cell dysfunction and ataxia. zfin.org
Nonsense (stop) variants truncate β-III spectrin, producing unstable or non-functional protein. genecards.org
Frameshift variants change the reading frame and disrupt key spectrin domains. genecards.org
Splice-site variants mis-splice the RNA, removing or altering essential segments. genecards.org
Missense variants in critical repeats alter spectrin folding and stability. genecards.org
Compound heterozygosity (two different harmful variants, one on each copy) results in β-III spectrin failure. zfin.org
Defective spectrin–actin network weakens the neuronal scaffold in Purkinje cells. genecards.org
Impaired dendritic architecture disrupts Purkinje cell dendrite growth and branching. (Shown broadly for spectrin/PKCγ-Purkinje biology.) PMC
Abnormal membrane protein trafficking reduces delivery of ion channels and receptors to synapses. genecards.org
Disrupted glutamate receptor handling affects Purkinje cell input and cerebellar signaling. genecards.org
Disturbed calcium homeostasis in Purkinje cells adds to firing instability. genecards.org
Axonal transport problems impede movement of cargo along Purkinje axons. genecards.org
Synaptic dysfunction weakens communication within cerebellar circuits. genecards.org
Progressive Purkinje cell degeneration leads to cerebellar atrophy on MRI. malacards.org
Developmental vulnerability of the cerebellum explains infantile or childhood onset. malacards.org
Homozygous hot-spot variants in SPTBN2 reported in families with severe early disease. malacards.org
Gene–environment neutrality (no proven environmental trigger), emphasizing genetic causation. malacards.org
No dominant-negative effect in SCAR14 (recessive), unlike PRKCG-related dominant SCA14—different gene and mechanism. NCBI+1
Distinct from SPTBN2-dominant SCA5—same gene can cause another ataxia when variants are heterozygous/dominant. genecards.org
Genetic founder effects in some populations may cluster specific SPTBN2 variants. (Inferred from case-series patterns in rare disease databases.) malacards.org
Symptoms
Unsteady gait – walking is wide-based and wobbly; the child may fall often. malacards.org
Poor limb coordination – hands overshoot or undershoot targets (dysmetria). malacards.org
Slow rapid-alternating movements – trouble with fast hand or foot taps (dysdiadochokinesia). malacards.org
Eye movement problems – nystagmus, jerky pursuit, or small saccades. malacards.org
Speech problems – slurred or scanning speech (dysarthria). malacards.org
Developmental delay – late sitting, standing, or walking. malacards.org
Hypotonia – low muscle tone in infancy. malacards.org
Truncal ataxia – trouble sitting or standing still without swaying. malacards.org
Tremor – shaking of hands during action. malacards.org
Learning difficulties – mild to severe intellectual disability may be present. malacards.org
Fatigue with walking – extra effort due to poor balance. malacards.org
Frequent falls – common in childhood during play. malacards.org
Difficulty with fine motor tasks – buttons, small toys, or handwriting are hard. malacards.org
Feeding or swallowing issues – sometimes present because of coordination problems. malacards.org
Emotional frustration – children may feel upset by slow progress and repeated falls; this is common in chronic ataxias. malacards.org
Diagnostic tests
A) Physical examination (at the bedside)
Gait observation – the doctor watches how the child walks and turns; a wide-based, sway-prone gait suggests cerebellar ataxia. malacards.org
Romberg test – standing with feet together and eyes closed; increased sway suggests balance system problems. (Standard ataxia assessment.) malacards.org
Finger-to-nose – the child tries to touch their nose smoothly; overshoot shows dysmetria. malacards.org
Heel-to-shin – sliding the heel down the opposite shin tests leg coordination; wobble indicates ataxia. malacards.org
Rapid alternating movements – quick hand flips test cerebellar timing; slowness or irregular rhythm supports ataxia. malacards.org
B) Manual/bedside oculomotor tests
Saccade testing – the doctor asks the child to look quickly between two targets; small or slow jumps suggest cerebellar control issues. malacards.org
Smooth pursuit – following a moving finger; jerky pursuit is typical in cerebellar disease. malacards.org
Nystagmus check – brief eye beats at rest or gaze; common in cerebellar syndromes like SCAR14. malacards.org
C) Laboratory and pathological tests
Targeted gene panel for ataxia – looks for SPTBN2 variants along with many other ataxia genes; useful first genetic test in many clinics. invitae.com
Whole-exome sequencing (WES) – examines coding genes; helps when panel is negative or when family history is unclear. invitae.com
Parental testing – confirms autosomal recessive inheritance by showing one variant in each parent. zfin.org
Basic metabolic screen – glucose, electrolytes, thyroid, vitamin E/B12, lactate, ammonia; this helps rule out other treatable ataxias. (Standard practice in ataxia workups.) malacards.org
Creatine kinase (CK) – usually normal, but can exclude myopathy as a main cause of motor delay. (General neuromuscular screening.) malacards.org
D) Electrodiagnostic tests
EEG – used when spells suggest seizures or staring episodes; seizures are not core to SCAR14, but some recessive ataxias have them. orpha.net
EMG and nerve conduction studies – help rule out peripheral neuropathy if numbness or weakness is suspected; SCAR14 is primarily cerebellar. malacards.org
Evoked potentials (visual or somatosensory) – can show slowed brain pathway signals; sometimes used in complex ataxia evaluations. malacards.org
E) Imaging tests
Brain MRI – key test; often shows cerebellar atrophy (shrinkage), which supports the diagnosis together with symptoms and genetics. malacards.org
Tensor imaging or volumetry (advanced MRI) – research-level tools that quantify cerebellar pathway changes; used in specialized centers. malacards.org
Spine MRI – not routine, but may be done to rule out other causes of gait problems if signs point to the spinal cord. (General ataxia workup logic.) malacards.org
Oculography (video eye tracking) – documents nystagmus and saccade metrics; helpful for objective follow-up. (Used in ataxia clinics and studies.) malacards.org
