Overview

Cerebellar ataxia is a form of ataxia originating in the cerebellum. Cerebellar ataxia can occur as a result of many diseases and may present with symptoms of an inability to coordinate balance, gait, extremity and eye movements. To understand the clinical and genetic characteristics of cerebellar ataxia, we establish a registered cohort to follow up Chinese patients with cerebellar ataxia.
