Social understanding in spinocerebellar ataxia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with certain genetic types of spinocerebellar ataxia (a condition that affects movement and coordination) understand social situations. It aims to see if there are differences in social thinking compared to people without the condition.

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.
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 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.
This study looks for biological “markers” (measurable signs in the body) in people with inherited movement disorders, and in some related family members or healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand these conditions, especially for future diagnosis and care.
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.
