Spinocerebellar ataxia-32 (SCA32) is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by ataxia, variable mental impairment, and azoospermia in males (summary by Jiang et al., 2010).
For a general discussion of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia, see SCA1 (164400).
Jiang et al. (2010) reported a Chinese family with an autosomal dominant form of spinocerebellar ataxia. There was a broad range of age at onset, particularly among females. Those with onset of ataxia before age 40 years showed cognitive impairment, and brain MRI showed cerebellar atrophy. All affected males were infertile and had azoospermia with testicular atrophy. Testicular biopsy from 1 male showed complete absence of germ cells and progenitors.
By genomewide linkage analysis of a Chinese family with autosomal dominant SCA and azoospermia, Jiang et al. (2010) found linkage to a locus, termed SCA32, on chromosome 7q32-q33 between rs3847110 and rs2241728. The critical region spanned 0.989 cM (989 kb).

Dear OMIM User,
To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90% of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the information that you need at your fingertips.
Thank you in advance for your generous support,
