## Abstract Recently, Ξ²III spectrins have been recognized as ataxia disease genes, with the identification by Ikeda and coβworkers of pathogenic mutations in the __SPTBN2__ gene in three large (and mapped) SCA5 families of American and European origin.^(1)^ With their discovery, the large βLincolnβ

The CAG repeat tract at the autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) locus was analyzed in SCA1 families and French-Acadian, African-American, Caucasian, Greenland Inuit, and Thai populations. The normal alleles had 9-37 repeats, whereas disease alleles contained 44-64 repeats. The CA
Autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders clinically characterized by late-onset ataxia and variable other manifestations. Genetically and clinically, SCA is highly heterogeneous. Recently, CAG repeat expansions in the gene encoding TATA-binding pro
## Abstract Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) has been recognized recently as an uncommon cause of parkinsonism, an alternate presentation to the typical cerebellar disorder. This research review summarizes the existing literature on parkinsonismβpredominant presentation SCA2 and presents new cl
Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias are a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders that generally present in adulthood. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 typically presents with progressive cerebellar symptoms, slow ocular saccades, and peripheral neuropathy. The onset of symptoms is usually
