Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the frequency of and to characterize muscle excitability abnormalities in Machado-Joseph disease (MJD). DESIGN: Machado-Joseph disease is a common autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia caused by an unstable CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion. Muscle cramps and fasciculations are frequent and sometimes disabling manifestations. However, their frequency and pathophysiological mechanisms...
