Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 18
MONDO:0014530Autosomal recessive congenital cerebellar ataxia due to GRID2 deficiency is a rare, genetic, slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease resulting from GRID2 deficiency characterized by motor, speech and cognitive delay, hypotonia, truncal and appendicular ataxia, and eye movement abnormalities (tonic upgaze, nystagmus, oculomotor apraxia). Intention tremor may also be associated. Brain imaging reveals progressive cerebellar atrophy with cerebellar flocculus particularly affected.
Also known as: GRID2 autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia - pyramidal signs - nystagmus - oculomotor apraxia syndrome, GRID2 autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia-pyramidal signs-nystagmus-oculomotor apraxia syndrome, SCAR18, autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia - pyramidal signs - nystagmus - oculomotor apraxia syndrome caused by mutation in GRID2, autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia-pyramidal signs-nystagmus-oculomotor apraxia syndrome caused by mutation in GRID2, autosomal recessive congenital cerebellar ataxia due to ionotropic glutamate receptor delta-2 subunit deficiency, autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 18, spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive type 18

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…
