The disease manifests during early childhood with delayed walking and tremor. The pyramidal signs appear progressively and by adulthood memory problems and dementia gradually become apparent. Transmission is X-linked but the causative gene has not yet been identified. The disease is usually fatal during the sixth decade of life.

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…
