Early onset hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia: an autosomal recessive disorder distinct from Friedreich's ataxia. Indian Pediatrics. 1989 Oct; 26(10): 1014-9http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/14270The important clinical features of seven patients with an early onset slowly progressive heredofamilial spinocerebellar degenerative disorder of probably autosomal recessive inheritance included limb ataxia, retained and/or exaggerated tendon reflexes (biceps and knee), pyramidal weakness of lower limbs and normal sensory action potentials. This rare disorder is probably distinct from Friedreich's ataxia and carries a better prognosis.engAdolescentAdultChildChild, PreschoolDiagnosis, DifferentialFemaleFriedreich Ataxia --diagnosisHumansMaleSpinocerebellar Degenerations --diagnosisEarly onset hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia: an autosomal recessive disorder distinct from Friedreich's ataxia.Journal Article
