A 38-year-old woman was diagnosed autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) with a novel pathogenic variant in the SACS gene presented with gradually progressive spastic ataxia since the age of 2 years; then, she became wheelchair-bound at the age of 28 years. Here, SACS is linked to autosomal recessive spastic ataxia.
