COQ8A-Ataxia as a Manifestation of Primary Coenzyme Q Deficiency
COQ8A-ataxia is a mitochondrial disease in which a defect in coenzyme Q10 synthesis leads to dysfunction of the respiratory chain. The disease is usually present as childhood-onset progressive ataxia with developmental regression and cerebellar atrophy ...

Cerebellar ataxia with sensory ganglionopathy; does autoimmunity have a role to play? [PDF]
Background and purpose: Cerebellar ataxia with sensory ganglionopathy (SG) is a disabling combination of neurological dysfunction usually seen as part of some hereditary ataxias. However, patients may present with this combination without a genetic cause.

Robotic and clinical evaluation of upper limb motor performance in patients with Friedreich's Ataxia: an observational study [PDF]
Background: Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is the most common hereditary autosomal recessive form of ataxia. In this disease there is early manifestation of gait ataxia, and dysmetria of the arms and legs which causes impairment in daily activities that ...
