Spinocerebellar ataxia type 8

MONDO:0012116

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCA8) is a subtype of type I autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA type I) characterized by cerebellar ataxia and cognitive dysfunction in almost three quarters of patients and pyramidal and sensory signs in approximately a third of patients.

Also known as: SCA8, spinocerebellar ataxia type 8, spinocerebellar ataxia 8

Can we predict how genetic ataxias progress?

Knowledge-focused Recruiting now

This study follows people with several types of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) — rare genetic diseases that cause balance, coordination, and speech problems — to learn how these conditions change over time. Researchers will collect blood samples, perform neurological exams, and use…
