MACHADO-JOSEPH DISEASE; MJD

Alternate names

MACHADO-JOSEPH DISEASE; MJD Is also known as spinocerebellar ataxia 3, spinocerebellar atrophy iii, spinopontine atrophy, azorean neurologic disease, nigrospinodentatal degeneration, sca3

Description

Machado-Joseph disease, named for affected families of Azorean extraction, is an autosomal dominant progressive neurologic disorder characterized principally by ataxia, spasticity, and ocular movement abnormalities. Although independently described as a seemingly separate disorder, spinocerebellar ataxia-3 is now known to be the same as Machado-Joseph disease.Three classic clinical subtypes of MJD are recognized: type 1 with early onset and marked pyramidal and dystonic signs; type 2, or pure, with predominant cerebellar ataxia; and type 3 with later-onset and peripheral neuropathy (Franca et al., 2008).

Most common symptoms of MACHADO-JOSEPH DISEASE; MJD

  • Ataxia
  • Nystagmus
  • Pain
  • Spasticity
  • Ptosis

Description

Machado-Joseph disease type 1 is a rare, usually severe subtype of Machado-Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD, see this term) characterized by the presence of marked pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs.

Most common symptoms of MACHADO-JOSEPH DISEASE TYPE 1

  • Spasticity
  • Delayed speech and language development
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Hyperreflexia
  • Dysarthria

Description

Machado-Joseph disease type 2 is a subtype of Machado-Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD, see this term) with intermediate severity characterized by an intermediate age of onset, cerebellar ataxia and external progressive ophthalmoplegia, with variable pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs.

Most common symptoms of MACHADO-JOSEPH DISEASE TYPE 2

  • Spasticity

Description

Machado-Joseph disease type 3 is a subtype of Machado-Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD, see this term) of milder severity characterized by late onset, slower progression, and peripheral amyotrophy.

Most common symptoms of MACHADO-JOSEPH DISEASE TYPE 3

  • Spasticity
  • Delayed speech and language development
  • Hyperreflexia
