Study of inherited progressive balance and coordination changes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This is a natural history study that follows people with inherited forms of “ataxia” (problems with balance and coordination) over time. It may help researchers better understand how these conditions progress in daily life and can inform future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have progressive ataxia (balance/coordination problems that are getting worse)
- Your ataxia does not have another clear cause found by doctors
- Genetic testing shows one of these: SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, or SCA6
- You (or your legal representative) can sign consent to take part

This study is a registry that collects information from adults with certain types of inherited ataxia caused by specific genetic diagnoses. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and support future research.
This trial looks for eye problems in people with certain genetic forms of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, or SCA27B). You have to be between 18 and 80 years old and have a specific genetic mutation. You can join if you already have symptoms or if you are at risk but do not have symptoms yet.
This study follows people with progressive balance and coordination problems that started after age 40. The goal is to better understand what happens over time, which can help future treatments be developed for similar conditions.
This study looks at the causes and biology (“biomarkers”) of hereditary spastic paraplegias and related conditions. You may join as someone with the condition, a family member without symptoms, or a healthy person, to help researchers understand what’s happening in the nervous system.
This study follows people with certain types of spinocerebellar ataxia (a group of conditions that cause progressive movement problems) to understand how the disease changes over time and how genes might influence it. It may help researchers learn more about these conditions and support future treatments.
This study follows people with spinocerebellar ataxia type 27B (a movement disorder) and their family members to understand how the condition changes over time. It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison.
