Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 38

Description

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 38 (SCA38) is a subtype of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia type 3 characterized by the adult-onset (average age: 40 years) of truncal ataxia, gait disturbance and gaze-evoked nystagmus. The disease is slowly progressive with dysarthria and limb ataxia following. Additional manifestations include diplopia and axonal neuropathy.
