Stransky-Regal Disease

Stransky-Regal disease is a rare hereditary disease characterized by progressive ataxia, mental and physical development delays, and damage to peripheral nerves.

This disease was first described in 1926 by Czech-American pediatrician Eva Stranska and American pediatrician Arthur Regala and is therefore named after them. The synonymous name is Stransky-Regala syndrome.

1. Progressive cerebellar ataxia, loss of motor coordination

2. Delayed mental and physical development

The cause of the disease is mutations in the TDP1 and ADCK3 genes, leading to metabolic disorders in nerve cells. Treatment is mainly symptomatic. The prognosis is unfavorable, life expectancy is reduced.
