Gluten ataxia is defined as sporadic cerebellar ataxia associated with the presence circulating antigliadin antibodies and in the absence of an alternative etiology for ataxia.

Due to difficulties in mobility, self-care, everyday activities, and pain / discomfort, those with cerebellar ataxia are more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety and depression.
43.
People with cerebellar ataxia may initially present with poor balance, which could be demonstrated as an inability to stand on one leg or perform tandem gait.
44.
Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 8, also referred to as autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia type 1 or recessive ataxia of Beauce.
45.
Multiple System Atrophy ( MSA ) is a progressive, adult onset disorder characterised by any combination of parkinsonism, autonomic failure ( see nervous system ) and cerebellar ataxia.
46.
Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay ( ARSACS ), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia with spasticity and peripheral neuropathy.
47.
It is also the method used by human infants when crawling on their knees or engaged in a " cerebellar ataxia that impairs the balance needed for bipedality.
48.
Additionally, lower muscle tone can be caused by Mikhail-Mikhail syndrome, which is characterized by muscular atrophy and cerebellar ataxia which is due to abnormalities in the ATXN1 gene.
49.
In terms of the genetics of autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia 11 of 18 known genes are caused by repeated expansions in corresponding proteins, sharing the same mutational mechanism.
50.
The disturbance differs from cerebellar ataxia in the fact that with astasis the gait can be relatively normal, with balance significantly impaired during transition from a seated to standing position.
