Spinocerebellar Ataxia 27: A Review and Characterization of an Evolving Phenotype
Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is an uncommon form of progressive cerebellar ataxia with multiple genetic causes and marked variability in phenotypic expression even across patients with identical genetic abnormalities.

Novel pathogenic COX20 variants causing dysarthria, ataxia, and sensory neuropathy. [PDF]
COX20/FAM36A encodes a mitochondrial complex IV assembly factor important for COX2 activation. Only one homozygous COX20 missense mutation has been previously described in two separate consanguineous families.

Frataxin deficiency increases cyclooxygenase 2 and prostaglandins in cell and animal models of Friedreich's ataxia. [PDF]
An inherited deficiency of the mitochondrial protein frataxin causes Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA); the mechanism by which this deficiency triggers neuro- and cardio-degeneration is unclear.

Gait Adaptability Training Improves Gait in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Patients
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a rare, genetic neurodegenerative movement disorder primarily affecting the cerebellum. So far, there is no available cure for SCA. However, evidence suggests that neurorehabilitation can alleviate symptoms.

The spino-bulbar-cerebellar pathway: organization and neurochemical properties of spinal cells that project to the lateral reticular nucleus in the rat [PDF]
In addition to classical spinocerebellar pathways, the cerebellum receives information from the spinal cord indirectly via spino-bulbar-cerebellar systems. One of the structures in this pathway is the lateral reticular nucleus (LRt).

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a polyglutamine (polyQ) neurogenerative disorder that results from CAG trinucleotide repeat expansions in the ATXN3 gene, leading to toxic protein aggregate formation and cellular pathway dysfunction.

Early and Progressive Spinal Cord Atrophy in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a rare, autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar and brainstem degeneration. Previous studies have shown that spinal cord atrophy is also a key aspect of SCA1 neuropathology.

High frequency of Machado-Joseph disease identified in Southeastern Chinese kindreds with spinocerebellar ataxia [PDF]
Background Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), caused by a CAG repeat expansion located in exon10 of the ATXN3 gene, is now regarded as one of the most common spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) in the world.
