Abstract
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) refers to a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive loss of coordination, balance, and motor function. Affecting the cerebellum and spinal cord, SCAs are caused by genetic mutations, and their symptoms typically worsen over time, impacting a patient’s quality of life. To date, more than 40 different types of SCAs have been identified, each associated with specific genetic mutations. Despite the complexity and genetic variability of the disorder, recent advances in research are shedding light on its underlying mechanisms and offering hope for the development of effective treatments [1]. This article will explore the latest breakthroughs in SCA research and examine potential future direction
