when it was present in at least 5 of 10 trials. Tremor axes were determined by the directions of maximal tremor power assessed over 360°. There were 29 cases (mean age, 68.8 Ϯ 10.6 years). Fifteen (51.7%) had a tremor severity rating of 2 or 3 (moderate or severe tremor), 12 (41.4%) had a rating of
Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCA) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia and a varying combination of pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs, peripheral neuropathy, external ophthalmoplegia, and dyspha
The inherited neurodegenerative disorders such as the spinocerebellar ataxias, Huntington's disease, dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy, and spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy associated with CAG/polyglutamine repeat expansion have been reported to exhibit intranuclear inclusions (NIs) in neurons.
## Abstract Onset of genetically determined neurodegenerative diseases is difficult to specify because of their insidious and slowly progressive nature. This is especially true for spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) because of varying affection of many parts of the nervous system and huge variability of
