- Description
- Spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCA8) (MIM 608768) is a dominantly inherited ataxia typically occurring in adulthood, with onset of the disease that may range from age 1 to 65 years. Common initial symptoms are scanning dysarthria with a characteristic drawn-out slowness of speech and gait instability. Some individuals present with nystagmus, dysmetric saccades and, occasionally ophthalmoplegia. Hyperreflexia and extensor plantar responses are present in some severely affected individuals. Life span is typically not shortened.
