Any autosomal recessive syndromic cerebellar ataxia in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the SYT14 gene.
Features include always present findings: Truncal ataxia, Difficulty walking (gait disturbance), Shrinkage of the cerebellum (cerebellar atrophy), and Dysarthria and others; and common findings: Gaze-evoked horizontal nystagmus, Impaired smooth pursuit, and Cerebellar vermis atrophy. 11 total HPO annotations.

SYT14 function has not been fully characterized.
Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 11 is associated with mutations in the SYT14 gene on chromosome 1.
Genetic testing for SYT14 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 7 always present features, 3 common features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
