Spinocerebellar ataxias: genetic subtypes

Spinocerebellar ataxias are a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders. We list below an update on all genetic subtypes, including the most recently identified ones, based on mode of inheritance (Table 1: autosomal dominant; Table 2: autosomal recessive; Table 3: X-linked). Chromosomal locus, gene, mutational spectrum and testing methods are given. Because of significant
