We report on the clinical manifestation of
spinocerebellar ataxia 17
(
SCA17
) in 3 members of a German family, in whom the pathological repeat expansion in the TATA-binding protein gene ranged from 53 to 55 repeats (normal: 29-42). The main clinical features were focal dystonia as presenting sign, followed by cerebellar ataxia, and, in the later course of one case, dementia and marked
spasticity
with signs of cerebellar and cerebral atrophy on brain computed tomography (CT) scan. In conclusion,
SCA17
mutations should be considered in the differential diagnosis of focal dystonia.
