Researchers have identified the genetic cause of early-onset progressive cerebellar degeneration the Finnish Hound dog breed. The study revealed a new disease mechanism in cerebellar degeneration. A ...

Cerebellar ataxia is a condition of the cerebellum that causes an inability to coordinate muscle movements. A new study describes a new genetic mutation as an additional cause of ataxia in humans and ...

A subset of Finnish hound puppies need to be put down every year because they suffer from a degenerative brain disease that causes uncontrolled movement. Luckily, researchers have identified the gene ...

Acute cerebellar ataxia is a brain disorder that impairs control of the body, causing motor impairment, stumbling, and other problems. It is usually the result of diseases that affect the nervous ...

The combination of ataxia and hypogonadism was first described more than a century ago, but its genetic basis has remained elusive. We performed whole-exome sequencing in a patient with ataxia and ...

Difficulty balancing or an inability to do so can be caused by any number of factors. Head injuries, migraines, alcohol use, ear infections and medications can all affect your musculoskeletal system ...

While autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (a loss of muscle control coordination) can lead to severe disability with some patients becoming wheelchair-bound, there are factors that may help predict better ...

Researchers at the University of Helsinki and the Folkhälsan Research Center, Finland, have identified the genetic cause of early-onset progressive cerebellar degeneration the Finnish Hound dog breed.
