Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 13
MONDO:0013905Autosomal recessive congenital cerebellar ataxia due to MGLUR1 deficiency is a rare, genetic, slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease resulting from MGLUR1 deficiency characterized by global developmental delay (beginning in infancy), mild to severe intellectual deficit with poor or absent speech, moderate to severe stance and gait ataxia, pyramidal signs (e.g. hyperreflexia) and mild dysdiadochokinesia, dysmetria, tremors, and/or dysarthria. Oculomotor signs, such as nystagmus, strabismus, ptosis and hypometric saccades, may also be associated. Brain imaging reveals progressive, generalized, moderate to severe cerebellar atrophy, inferior vermian hypoplasia, and/or constitutionally small brain.
Also known as: GRM1 autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia - pyramidal signs - nystagmus - oculomotor apraxia syndrome, GRM1 autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia-pyramidal signs-nystagmus-oculomotor apraxia syndrome, SCAR13, autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia - pyramidal signs - nystagmus - oculomotor apraxia syndrome caused by mutation in GRM1, autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia-pyramidal signs-nystagmus-oculomotor apraxia syndrome caused by mutation in GRM1, autosomal recessive congenital cerebellar ataxia due to metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 deficiency, autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 13, autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 13

Robots as rehab coaches: a new approach to retraining coordination in ataxia
Disease control OngoingThis trial tests whether robot-assisted neurorehabilitation can improve coordination, balance, and walking in adults with ataxia, a condition that affects movement control. Participants will receive either robotic or standard rehabilitation, and researchers will measure changes i…

Can a gentle brain zap help people with ataxia walk better?
Symptom relief OngoingThis study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve movement in people with degenerative ataxia, a rare condition that damages the cerebellum and impairs balance and coordination. Sixteen participan…
