Phenotypes associated with the disease autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 15 (OMIM:615705):
- Progressive (HP:0003676): Applies to a disease manifestation that increases in scope or severity over the course of time, i.e., that worsens with age. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:20826435)
- Delayed speech and language development (HP:0000750): A degree of language development that is significantly below the norm for a child of a specified age. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:32450808)
- Mild intellectual disability (HP:0001256): Mild intellectual disability (ID) is defined as a type of ID characterized by mildly sub-average adaptive functioning and intellectual functioning, with an intelligence quotient (IQ) the range of 50-69. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:32450808)
- Delayed ability to walk (HP:0031936): A failure to achieve the ability to walk at an appropriate developmental stage. Most children learn to walk in a series of stages, and learn to walk short distances independently between 12 and 15 months. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/3. (PMID:20826435)
- Seizure (HP:0001250): A seizure is an intermittent abnormality of nervous system physiology characterized by a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/3. Onset: Infantile onset (HP:0003593). (PMID:20826435)
- Cerebellar atrophy (HP:0001272): Cerebellar atrophy is defined as a cerebellum with initially normal structures, in a posterior fossa with normal size, which displays enlarged fissures (interfolial spaces) in comparison to the foliae secondary to loss of tissue. Cerebellar atrophy implies irreversible loss of tissue and result from an ongoing progressive disease until a final stage is reached or a single injury, e.g. an intoxication or infectious event. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/3. Onset: Young adult onset (HP:0011462). (PMID:20826435)
- Lower limb hyperreflexia (HP:0002395): Increased intensity of the a reflex in the leg. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/5. (PMID:20826435;PMID:32450808)
- Dysarthria (HP:0001260): Dysarthric speech is a general description referring to a neurological speech disorder characterized by poor articulation. Depending on the involved neurological structures, dysarthria may be further classified as spastic, flaccid, ataxic, hyperkinetic and hypokinetic, or mixed. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/3. (PMID:20826435)
- Dysarthria (HP:0001260): Dysarthric speech is a general description referring to a neurological speech disorder characterized by poor articulation. Depending on the involved neurological structures, dysarthria may be further classified as spastic, flaccid, ataxic, hyperkinetic and hypokinetic, or mixed. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. Onset: Childhood onset (HP:0011463). (PMID:32450808)
- Gait ataxia (HP:0002066): A type of ataxia characterized by the impairment of the ability to coordinate the movements required for normal walking. Gait ataxia is characteirzed by a wide-based staggering gait with a tendency to fall. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:32450808)
- Global developmental delay (HP:0001263): A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:32450808)
- Ataxia (HP:0001251): Ataxia refers to impaired coordination of voluntary muscle movement. Cerebellar ataxia refers to ataxia due to dysfunction of the cerebellum. This causes a variety of elementary neurological deficits including asynergy (lack of coordination between muscles, limbs and joints), dysmetria (lack of ability to judge distances that can lead to under- or overshoot in grasping movements), and dysdiadochokinesia (inability to perform rapid movements requiring antagonizing muscle groups to be switched on and off repeatedly). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/3. (PMID:20826435)
- Infantile onset (HP:0003593): Onset of signs or symptoms of disease between 28 days to one year of life. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/3. (PMID:20826435)
- Saccadic smooth pursuit interruptions (HP:0001152): An abnormality of tracking eye movements in which smooth pursuit is interrupted by an abnormally high number of saccadic movements. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/4. (PMID:32450808)
- Motor delay (HP:0001270): A type of Developmental delay characterized by a delay in acquiring motor skills. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 5/5. (PMID:20826435;PMID:32450808)
- Nystagmus (HP:0000639): Rhythmic, involuntary oscillations of one or both eyes related to abnormality in fixation, conjugate gaze, or vestibular mechanisms. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/3. (PMID:20826435)
- Autosomal recessive inheritance (HP:0000007): A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele). Evidence: PCS. (PMID:20826435)
- Unsteady gait (HP:0002317). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/3. (PMID:20826435)
- Unsteady gait (HP:0002317). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. Onset: Childhood onset (HP:0011463). (PMID:32450808)
- Hyporeflexia of upper limbs (HP:0012391): Reduced intensity of muscle tendon reflexes in the upper limbs. Reflexes are elicited by stretching the tendon of a muscle, e.g., by tapping. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/3. (PMID:20826435)
- Intellectual disability (HP:0001249): The term intellectual disability or intellectual developmental disorder is used to describe significantly sub-average intellectual and adaptive functioning based on clinical assessment and as measured by individually administered, appropriately normed, standardized and validated tests of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, with onset during the developmental period from infancy through adolescence. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:20826435)
- Hyporeflexia of lower limbs (HP:0002600): Reduced intensity of muscle tendon reflexes in the lower limbs. Reflexes are elicited by stretching the tendon of a muscle, e.g., by tapping. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/3. (PMID:20826435)
