- *Abstract
-
The autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCAs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by ataxia, dysarthria, dysmetria, and intention tremor. All ADCAs involve some degree of cerebellar dysfunction and a varying degree of dysfunction in other components of the nervous system.SCA10 was distinguished origihally by linkage. The developers have found that SCA10 is a result of a large expansion of the ATTCT pentanucleotide repeat in intron 9 of the ATXN10 gene.OMIM 603516
