Early-onset cerebellar ataxia - what does this mean
Early-onset cerebellar ataxia is caused by genetic mutations that lead to the degeneration of the cerebellum and its associated pathways. this results in a variety of symptoms including lack of coordination, difficulty with balance, and slurred speech. in some cases, the progression of the disease can lead to cognitive impairment and difficulty with daily activities.
What happens during the disease - early-onset cerebellar ataxia
Early-onset cerebellar ataxia is caused by a genetic mutation that results in an abnormal production of a protein called ataxin-2. this protein is responsible for regulating the development and maintenance of the cerebellum, and when it is not produced in the right amounts, it can cause damage to the cerebellum and lead to ataxia. symptoms of this condition can include unsteady gait, difficulty in coordination and balance, and slurred speech.
