Spino Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) – Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost in India
Spino Cerebral Ataxia (SCA) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and causes problems with coordination and balance. It is caused by a mutation in one of several genes that produce proteins important for the normal functioning of the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls movement and balance.
SCA is a progressive disorder that worsens over time and can lead to significant disability. There are several different types of SCA, each caused by a different gene mutation. The symptoms and severity of SCA can vary depending on the specific type and the age of onset.
Symptoms of SCA
The symptoms of SCA can vary depending on the specific type and the age of onset. Common symptoms include:
- Problems with coordination and balance
- Difficulty walking or standing
- Tremors or shaking
- Difficulty with fine motor skills, such as writing or buttoning a shirt
- Speech problems
- Difficulty swallowing
- Vision problems
Diagnosis of SCA
Diagnosing SCA can be challenging because the symptoms are similar to those of other neurological conditions. A doctor will typically perform a physical exam, review the patient’s medical history, and order tests to rule out other conditions.
A genetic test is the most reliable way to diagnose SCA. This involves a blood test to look for the specific gene mutation that causes the condition. Genetic testing can also help determine the specific type of SCA a person has.
