Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6
MONDO:0008457Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is the most common subtype of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type III (ADCA type III) characterized by late-onset and slowly progressive gait ataxia and other cerebellar signs such as impaired muscle coordination and nystagmus.
Also known as: CACNA1A autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type III, SCA6, autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type III caused by mutation in CACNA1A, spinocerebellar ataxia type 6, spinocerebellar ataxia 6

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…
