Study: NCT04229823

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Video-oculography
Description: Eye movement parameters will be measured in all of the subjects using video-oculography device (EyeSeeCam, InterAcoustics). Measurement sessions consist of the study subject wearing a goggle attached to a camera that detects the pupil and eye position and velocity. Evaluation start with vestibulo-ocular reflex testing, with video head impulse test. Afterwards, saccades, smooth pursuit and fixation are evaluated.

Intervention: Clinical Scales
Description: All subjects are examined by an investigator in order to score clinical scales for ataxia, including Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA), International Co-operative Rating Scale (ICARS), Neurological Examination Scale for SCA (NESSCA), Inventory of Non-ataxia Symptoms (INAS), SCA Functional Index (SCAFI) and Composite Cerebellar Functional Severity Score (CCFS).

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Genotyping
Description: Individuals at 50% risk (offspring of subjects with molecular diagnosis of SCA3/MJD) will be genotyped in a double-blind manner so that they can be divided into pre-ataxic carriers and related controls (non carriers)
