ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00004306 |
OBJECTIVES: I. Clinically evaluate members from families with dominantly inherited ataxias and collect blood samples for detailed molecular studies.
II. Perform detailed clinical evaluations on patients with recessively inherited ataxias.

Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Screening |
Official Title: | Clinical and Molecular Correlations in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 10 (SCA10) |
Estimated Enrollment: | 30 |
Study Start Date: | November 1999 |
PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Participants undergo a comprehensive clinical and molecular evaluation. Studies include: neurologic evaluation, including magnetic resonance imaging and nerve conduction studies; ophthalmologic exam; audiologic exam, including auditory brain stem evoked response; DNA extraction for lymphoblastoid cell lines; gene mapping; and linkage analysis. A neuropathologic evaluation is conducted postmortem, when possible. Patients with recessive ataxia also receive a developmental assessment.
