Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is a disease in which people have problems with coordination, balance, speech and vision. It is caused by a change in the ATXN7 gene.

Researchers need more information about SCA7. They want to c...
Summary: This international, multi-center, multi-modal and prospective observational study aims to determine the phenotypic spectrum and the natural progression of the RFC1 repeat expansion disease, and to seek and validate digital, imaging, and molecular biomarkers that aid in diagnosis and serve as outcome measures in future clinical trials of this novel, but frequent ataxia with late adult-onset.
