Extractions: What is Friedreich's ataxia? Friedrich's ataxia (FA) is a very rare neurological genetic disorder, that affects speech, balance and coordination. In some respects it is similar to multiple sclerosis. It is an inherited genetic disease in which a person is born with. Most people who have Friedreich's Ataxia, eventually need support to walk, like a scooter, walker or wheelchair. Although, not deemed terminal, it is progressive and as a result, complications can occur to the respiratory systems, (heart and lungs ect.) Friedreich's ataxia was the first form of hereditary ataxia to be distinguished from other forms of ataxia. It is named after the German doctor, Nikolaus Friedreich, who first described it in 1863. Presently there is no known cure, but please don't fret or become discouraged, because with the advancement of all the recent genetic discoveries and research, there is great deal of hope indeed!

Extractions: Cerebellum and Disease Models - Workshop The Norwegian Academy of Sciences, Oslo - May 27, 2004 The primary goal of this workshop is to initiate a discussion among investigators that are interested in cerebellar function and dysfunction from different perspectives, to explore long term possibilities for synergies at the European level. The workshop also includes speakers who are not primarily studying the cerebellum but who have access to methods and approaches that are highly needed also in future cerebellar research. The workshop is funded by the Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience, University of Oslo, and the EU Neuroinformatics project CEREBELLUM. The meeting is organized by the Neural Systems and Graphics Computing Laboratory, University of Oslo. Speakers

Cerebellar Abiotrophy The clinical signs are suggestive of cerebellar disease, particularlyif they are seen in a breed in which abiotrophy is known to occur. http://www.upei.ca/~cidd/Diseases/nervous system disorders/cerebellar abiotrophy
Extractions: related terms: cerebellar and extrapyramidal nuclear abiotrophy, x-linked cerebellar ataxia What is cerebellar abiotrophy? The cerebellum is the part of the brain that regulates the control and coordination of movement. In this condition, cells in the cerebellum mature normally before birth, but then deteriorate prematurely causing clinical signs associated with poor coordination and lack of balance. The Purkinje cells in the cerebellum are primarily involved; cells in other areas of the brain may also be affected. How is cerebellar abiotrophy inherited? An autosomal recessive mode of inheritance has been confirmed or is strongly suspected for the abiotrophies listed below, with the exception of x-linked cerebellar ataxia in the English pointer, which has an x-linked mode of inheritance. What breeds are affected by cerebellar abiotrophy Neonatal cerebellar abiotrophy (very rare) - Affected cells start to degenerate before birth, so that signs of cerebellar dysfunction are present at birth or when the pup first walks.

Extractions: What is cerebellar hypoplasia? The cerebellum is the part of the brain that regulates the control and coordination of movement. In this condition, the cells of the cerebellum do not mature normally before birth, causing clinical signs relating to poor balance and incoordination. How is cerebellar hypoplasia inherited? There is some evidence that the mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive What breeds are affected by cerebellar hypoplasia This is an uncommon disorder. It occurs in the chow chow, Irish setter, wirehaired fox terrier, bull terrier, Boston terrier. For many breeds and many disorders, the studies to determine the mode of inheritance or the frequency in the breed have not been carried out, or are inconclusive. We have listed breeds for which there is a consensus among those investigating in this field and among veterinary practitioners, that the condition is significant in this breed. What does cerebellar hypoplasia The cerebellum is the part of the brain that regulates the control and coordination of voluntary movement. The clinical signs of cerebellar dysfunction in affected puppies range from mild to severe, and may include poor balance, a wide-based stance (feet planted far apart), stiff or high-stepping gait, apparent lack of awareness of where the feet are (standing or walking with a foot knuckled over), and head or body tremors. Affected pups have normal mental alertness. In this condition, in contrast to

Extractions: Please read our Return to Index Search this site Page last modified: January 20, 2004 The main goal of this page is to serve as a repository for recent information about inherited cerebellar degenerations. It is not comprehensive, but we hope that it might be of some use to individuals searching for information about these rare conditions on the web. We highly recommend also using the OMIM database , which can be accessed on the web. A large number of the genetic ataxias can be tested for using contemporary methodology. An example of a lab that does this is Athena Most of the information here concerns inherited conditions, as there is considerable new data derived from researchers using a nearly complete map of the human genome (your tax dollar is doing some good !), and improvements in the technology of molecular biology. It seems quite feasible that within the next decade, we may be able to determine the gene that is damaged in most inherited cerebellar degenerations. As these data become known, it may also be possible to target specific therapies, probably over the next 2 decades. In other words, stay tuned, but we aren't there yet. There are numerous non-genetic causes of cerebellar disease.
