Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 7 (hepatocerebral type)
MONDO:0010060Infantile-onset spinocerebellar ataxia (IOSCA) is a hereditary neurological disorder with early and severe involvement of both the peripheral and central nervous systems. It has only been described in Finnish families.
Also known as: IOSCA, OHAHA syndrome, Ohaha syndrome, TWNK autosomal recessive degenerative and progressive cerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive degenerative and progressive cerebellar ataxia caused by mutation in TWNK, mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 7 (hepatocerebral type), mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome type 7, ophthalmoplegia-hypotonia-ataxia-hypoacusis-athetosis syndrome

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…
