简要总结
RADIAL is an algorithm which has been developed following a review of the literature on 67 autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias (ARCA) and personal clinical experience. Frequency and specificity of each feature were defined for each autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia, and corresponding prediction scores were assigned. Clinical and paraclinical features of patients are entered into the algorithm, and a patient's total score for each ARCA is calculated, producing a ranking of possible diagnoses. Sensitivity and specificity of the algorithm were assessed by blinded analysis of a multinational cohort of 834 patients with molecularly confirmed autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia. The performance of the algorithm was assessed versus a blinded panel of autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia experts. The correct diagnosis was ranked within the top 3 highest-scoring diagnoses at a sensitivity and specificity of >90% for 84% and 91% of the evaluated genes, respectively. Mean sensitivity and specificity of the top 3 highest-scoring diagnoses were 92% and 95%, respectively. Our aim is now to validate in a prospective cohort of ARCA, the performance of RADIAL to predict the correct genetic diagnosis.

结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of patients for whom the final genetic diagnosis is in the top 3 of the diagnoses proposed by the RADIAL algorithm (corresponding to the diseases with the 3 highest score given by the algorithm).
时间窗: At final visit (depending of genetic results from 2 to 24 month maximum after inclusion visit)
The final diagnosis will be established after a genetic analysis and a medical interpretation of the results by geneticists.
次要结局
- Comparison of interpretation times by the clinical-genetic team (genetic and clinical data) with and without the help of the RADIAL algorithm(At final visit (depending of genetic results from 2 to 24 month maximum after inclusion visit))
- Comparison of the satisfaction score given by the clinical-genetic team in the interpretation of data with and without the help of the RADIAL algorithm(At final visit (depending of genetic results from 2 to 24 month maximum after inclusion visit))
- Influence of RADIAL on genetic diagnosis: percentage of patients whose diagnosis has been reviewed after the clinical-genetic team has learned of the results proposed by RADIAL(At final visit (depending of genetic results from 2 to 24 month maximum after inclusion visit))
- Percentage of patients for whom the genome analysis will have detected a new gene.(At final visit (depending of genetic results from 2 to 24 month maximum after inclusion visit))
- Percentage of patients for whom the final genetic diagnosis is the first diagnosis proposed by the RADIAL algorithm (corresponding to the disease with the highest score given by the algorithm).(At final visit (depending of genetic results from 2 to 24 month maximum after inclusion visit))
