Purpose This preliminary study examined whether speech profiles exist for adults with hereditary ataxia based on 2 competing frameworks: a pattern of instability/inflexibility or a pattern of differential subsystem involvement. Method Four dysarthria experts rated the speech samples of 8 adults with dysarthria from hereditary ataxia using visual analog scales and presence/severity rating scales of speech characteristics. Speaking tasks included diadochokinetics, sustained phonation, and a monologue. Results Speech profiles aligned with the instability/inflexibility framework, with the pattern of instability being the most common. Speech profiles did not emerge for the majority of speakers using the differential subsystem framework. Conclusions The findings extend previous research on pure ataxic dysarthria and suggest a possible framework for understanding the speech heterogeneity associated with the ataxias. The predominance of the instability profile is consistent with the notion of impaired feedforward control in speakers with cerebellar disruption.

Синдром CANVAS (мозжечковая атаксия, невропатия и вестибулярная арефлексия) - аутосомно-рецессивная атаксия с поздним дебютом, обусловленная носительством биаллельной экспансии (AAGGG)n во 2-м интроне гена RFC1. До настоящего момента отсутствуют сведения о распространенности данного заболевания в российских семьях. Нами был проведен поиск биаллельной экспансии AAGGG-повторов у 35 российских пациентов с поздней мозжечковой атаксией. Верифицированы 5 пациентов (14,3%) с синдромом CANVAS и характерной клинической картиной. CANVAS (cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy and vestibular areflexia) is a late-onset autosomal recessive ataxia due to biallelic (AAGGG)n repeat expansion in the 2nd intron of the RFC1 gene. There is no information on the CANVAS prevalence in Russian families. We searched for biallelic expansion of AAGGG repeats in 35 Russian patients with late-onset cerebellar ataxia. Five patients (14.3%) with CANVAS syndrome and a characteristic clinical picture were verified.
