Clinical Characteristics of Primary Hereditary Ataxia</h2><p>For the purposes of this chapter, which deals exclusively with hereditary ataxias, the term "primary hereditary ataxia" has been used to designate hereditary ataxias for which an adult with ataxia or the caregivers of a child with ataxia would seek diagnosis and management from a neurologist as part of a multidisciplinary team.</p><p>Use of the term "primary hereditary ataxia" is intended to exclude hereditary multisystem disorders in which ataxia may be observed, but is usually not the primary presenting manifestation.</p><div id="ataxias.Excluded_Categories"><h3>Excluded Categories</h3><p>For the purposes of this overview the following categories of hereditary disorders in which ataxia may occur are not considered primary hereditary ataxias:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Infantile-onset multisystem disorder</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Epileptic encephalopathy</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Presence of distinctive MRI findings:</div><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Brain malformation (e.g., cerebellar hypoplasia, cerebellar vermis hypoplasia as in <a href="/books/n/gene/joubert/?report=reader">Joubert syndrome</a> and related disorders)</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Leukodystrophy</div></li></ul></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Developmental delay / intellectual disability</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>An inborn error of metabolism (e.g., <a href="/books/n/gene/pbd/?report=reader">peroxisomal biogenesis disorders</a>, <a href="/books/n/gene/pbd/?report=reader">Zellweger spectrum disorders</a>, disorders of glycosylation)</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Primary mitochondrial disorders (See <a href="/books/n/gene/mt-overview/?report=reader">Primary Mitochondrial Disorders Overview</a>.)</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Other complex multisystem disorders such as <a href="/books/n/gene/npc/?report=reader">Niemann-Pick disease type C</a> and late-onset Tay-Sachs disease (see <a href="/books/n/gene/tay-sachs/?report=reader"><i>HEXA</i> Disorders</a>), which can on occasion present with ataxia</div></li></ul></div><div id="ataxias.Manifestations"><h3>Manifestations</h3><p>The manifestations of many of the more common primary hereditary ataxias discussed in <a href="#ataxias.Causes_of_Hereditary_Ataxia">Section 2</a> of this overview become evident between ages 30 and 50 years, although manifestations of other ataxias are evident before age 25 years (e.g., ataxia with oculomotor apraxia, <a href="/books/n/gene/friedreich/?report=reader">Friedreich ataxia</a>) or before age five years (e.g., <a href="/books/n/gene/ataxia-telangiectas/?report=reader">ataxia-telangiectasia</a>).</p><p>The <b>first manifestation</b> of ataxia can include:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Most commonly, a slowly progressive gait disorder that appears unsteady and predisposes to unexpected falls;</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Disequilibrium ("dizziness"), which may lead to an evaluation for peripheral vestibular dysfunction;</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Hand and finger clumsiness or tremor, which may raise the possibility of essential tremor or even parkinsonism;</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Slurring of speech or unexpected choking, which could lead to an evaluation for <a href="/books/n/gene/als-overview/?report=reader">amyotrophic lateral sclerosis</a> (ALS);</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Rarely, double vision, which could lead to an evaluation by an optometrist or ophthalmologist.</div></li></ul><p>At disease onset, these manifestations may be intermittent or evident only at certain times (e.g., later in the day, when tired, after consuming alcohol).
