Despite research progress, understanding the genetic factors underlying nonsyndromic TA has been challenging given the genetic heterogeneity, variable expressivity, and incomplete penetrance of putatively pathogenic variants often observed associated with the condition. Next-generation sequencing technologies have provided a platform for novel gene and variant discoveries and informed paradigm-shifting concepts in the etiology of TA. This review summarizes the current knowledge on genes and pathways related to nonsyndromic TA with a focus on recently identified genes/variants. Evidence suggesting possible multi-locus variation in TA is also presented.
