A new mechanism that worsens the symptoms of cerebellar ataxia, a rare degenerative cerebellar disease, has been identified.

Researchers at the University of Helsinki and the Folkhälsan Research Center, Finland, have identified the genetic cause of early-onset progressive cerebellar degeneration the Finnish Hound dog breed.
