The journal Мovement disorders: official journal of the movement disorder society has published a study about the results of the neurodegenerative process underlying SCA36 through fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and MRI scans. Twenty SCA36 patients underwent a study consisting of FDG-PET and MRI scans. Clinical motor evaluation was performed through the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA). SARA ranged from 0 to 24.5 (4 patients asymptomatic, 3 with unspecific symptoms, and 13 with cerebellar signs). The full-text article is available here.
