Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 27B can be Suspected Based on Clinical Phenotype: The Massachusetts General Hospital Ataxia Center Experience.

Abstract excerpt

Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 27B (SCA27B) is caused by an intronic GAA repeat expansion in the fibroblast growth factor 14 (FGF14) gene. The core clinical phenotype is a slowly progressive, adult-onset cerebellar ataxia, often with downbeat nystagmus (DBN) and episodic worsening.
