Utility of ataxia gene panel testing in diagnosing inherited ataxia: evaluation of an Irish cohort
Objective: To evaluate the utility of gene panel testing in a population of patients with genetically undetermined ataxia attending the Irish National Ataxia clinic. Background:…Balance in Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA): Comparison Between Type 10 and Type 3
Objective: To compare the balance in patients with SCA10 with SCA3. Background: Decreased balance and motor coordination are the main symptoms of Spinocerebellar Ataxias (SCA).…Spinocerebellar ataxia type-17: An Indian Scenario
Objective: We aimed to investigate status of SCA17 in Indian population and tried to minimise the category of unidentified cerebellar ataxia cases. Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia…Severity Assessment, Functional Capacity and Balance in Patients with Spinocerebellar Ataxias (SCAs): comparison between types 3 and 10.
Objective: To compare the differences in the evolution in terms of severity, functional independence and balance in patients with SCAs type 3 and 10 Background:…Clinical and imaging characteristics of spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 defined in a German multi-center sample
Objective: To give a concise description of clinical and imaging features of spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 (SCA14). Background: Since its genetic definition in 2003, the…Huntington disease phenocopies or misdiagnosis: A black South African cohort
Objective: To investigate the occurrence of phenocopy mutations in a cohort of black South African individuals referred to the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) for…Phenotype and genotype variability of CACNA1A in a cohort of ataxia in Taiwan
Objective: To study the phenotype and genotype variability of CACNA1A in a cohort of ataxia. Background: CACNA1A gene encodes a voltage-dependent, P/Q type calcium channel…Evaluation of parkinsonism and striatal dopamine transporter loss in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6
Objective: To study whether spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) patients have parkinsonism and striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) loss compared to gender- and age-matched healthy controls.…Natural history of saccadic abnormalities in spinocerebellar ataxia 2: Implications to designing future clinical trials
Objective: The present study was aimed to assess the progression of saccade involvement in SCA2 patients, identify its main determinants and evaluate its usefulness as…Prodromal criteria of spinocerebellar type 2: Lessons for physiopathology, natural history and therapeutical trials
Objective: To identify criteria defining the prodromal stage of spinocerebellar ataxia 2 (SCA2). Background: The prodromal stage of spinocerebellar ataxias has not been systematically studied…
