Abstract
Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) is one of heredodegenerative neurological disorders, characterized by clinical features of progressive ataxia with or without other neurological symptoms of pyramidal, extrapyramidal and peripheral nerve involvement. The recent advances in molecular biology in this field brings us new era of genetically oriented clinical research, showing us new aspects and/or concepts of SCD.
In this article I will show you a newly revised classification of SCD based on the recent advances in clinical researches, pathological and genetical findings of SCD.
