Molecular hallmarks of neurodegeneration in polyglutamine spinocerebellar ataxias [PDF]
Polyglutamine spinocerebellar ataxias (PolyQ SCAs) comprise a group of six inherited rare neurodegenerative diseases. They are caused by abnormal mutation of a CAG tract in six otherwise unrelated genes, leading to a complex cascade of molecular events ...

Roles of Post-translational Modifications in Spinocerebellar Ataxias
Post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, etc., of proteins can modulate protein properties such as intracellular distribution, activity, stability, aggregation, and interactions ...

The spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of autosomal dominantly inherited progressive disorders, the clinical hallmark of which is loss of balance and coordination accompanied by slurred speech; onset is most often in adult life. Genetically, SCAs are grouped as repeat expansion SCAs, such as SCA3/Machado-Joseph disease

A Review of Spinocerebellar Ataxias in Taiwan
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by inherited progressive cerebellar ataxia with or without other associated features. The clinical presentations of these affected SCA patients are very heterogeneous.

Rehabilitation in patients with cerebellar ataxias
Cerebellar ataxias comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms, which can be acquired, degenerative, or have a genetic cause, such as spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA).
