Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias
Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias (ARCA) are a heterogeneous group of rare neurological disorders involving both central and peripheral nervous system, and in some case other systems and organs, and characterized by degeneration or abnormal development of cerebellum and spinal cord, autosomal recessive inheritance and, in most cases, early onset occurring before the age of 20 years. This g...
متن کاملSleep disorders in cerebellar ataxias.
Cerebellar ataxias comprise a wide range of etiologies leading to central nervous system-related motor and non-motor symptoms. Recently, a large body of evidence has demonstrated a high frequency of non-motor manifestations in cerebellar ataxias, specially in autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA). Among these non-motor dysfunctions, sleep disorders have been recognized, although stil...
متن کاملNeurochemistry and Neuropharmacology of the Cerebellar Ataxias
The predominant (though not exclusive) reference to degenerative ataxias is due to the fact that the specificity of the affected cell populations should allow anticipation of more or less specific neurochemical alterations. This information could be used to look for therapeutic strategies, given the absence of curative treatments for the majority of ataxic disorders. This review covers only the...
متن کاملSurvival and severity in dominant cerebellar ataxias
Inherited spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are known to be genetically and clinically heterogeneous. Whether severity and survival are variable, however, is not known. We, therefore, studied survival and severity in 446 cases and 509 relatives with known mutations. Survival was 68 years [95% CI: 65-70] in 223 patients with polyglutamine expansions versus 80 years [73-84] in 23 with other mutation...
متن کاملHereditary Cerebellar Ataxias: A Korean Perspective
Hereditary ataxia is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by progressive ataxia combined with/without peripheral neuropathy, extrapyramidal symptoms, pyramidal symptoms, seizure, and multiple systematic involvements. More than 35 autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias have been designated as spinocerebellar ataxia, and there are 55 recessive ataxias that have not been named systematically. Con...
