Clinical Trial: Characteristics of Episodic Ataxia Syndrome

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Observational




Official Title: Episodic Ataxia Syndrome: Genotype-phenotype Correlation and Longitudinal Study

Brief Summary: Episodic ataxia (EA) is a rare genetic disease characterized by episodes of imbalance, incoordination, and slurring of speech. The underlying cause of EA is only partly understood, and currently there are no established treatments. There is also little information about the link between EA's clinical features and its genetic basis. The purpose of this study is to better characterize EA and disease progression. In turn, this may direct the development of future treatments.
