Scientists track rare ataxia to unlock future treatments
NCT ID NCT05177809
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 150 adults with RFC1-related ataxia (a balance and coordination disorder) over two years. Researchers will measure symptoms, perform imaging, and test blood samples to understand how the disease progresses. The goal is to find markers that can help diagnose the condition and measure treatment effects in future clinical trials.
