CGG Repeat Expansion in GIPC1 is Associated with Childhood‐Onset Hereditary Ataxia

Key Points

This research aims to explore the connection between CGG repeat expansion in the GIPC1 gene and childhood-onset hereditary ataxia.
Identified cases of childhood-onset hereditary ataxia
Analyzed genetic mutations, specifically CGG repeat expansion
Evaluated cognitive and neurological impairments
Defined a new subtype of hereditary ataxia associated with GIPC1 CGG repeat expansion
Observed mild cognitive impairment in affected individuals
Documented neurogenic involvement in patients with GIPC1 mutations

Abstract

These findings expand the phenotypic spectrum associated with GIPC1 CGG repeat expansion and define a novel subtype of childhood-onset hereditary ataxia accompanied by mild cognitive impairment and neurogenic involvement. © 2026 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
