Abstract

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease causing late-onset progressive cerebellar ataxia. SCA6 is associated with a trinucleotide expansion within the CACNA1A gene encoding Ca_v2.1, the α₁-subunit of a neuronal P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel. This chapter discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of SCA6.
