A new mechanism that worsens the symptoms of cerebellar ataxia, a rare degenerative cerebellar disease, has been identified.

Ataxia isn’t just clumsiness—it’s a complex neurological condition tied to the cerebellum, genetics, and sometimes other ...

Researchers at the University of Helsinki and the Folkhälsan Research Center, Finland, have identified the genetic cause of early-onset progressive cerebellar degeneration the Finnish Hound dog breed.

Clinical exome sequencing (CES) in patients with adult and sporadic-onset presentations of chronic progressive cerebellar ataxia is a high-yield test and should be considered in the routine genetic ...

Background An 83-year-old man presented with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and a previous basal cell carcinoma, having developed progressive worsening of his balance and difficulty walking at the age ...

A new study of patients with autoimmune cerebellar ataxia has found that the condition is not always untreatable and that many patents respond well to immunotherapy, particularly if started early. The ...

The autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are a group of little known and often neglected diseases that are best understood by following a practical, multidisciplinary approach that focuses on ...

MAYWOOD, Ill. - No cures are possible for most patients who suffer debilitating movement disorders called cerebellar ataxias. But in a few of these disorders, patients can be effectively treated with ...

Researchers have identified the genetic cause of early-onset progressive cerebellar degeneration the Finnish Hound dog breed. The study revealed a new disease mechanism in cerebellar degeneration. A ...
