Abstract

Of the syndromes constituting the inherited ataxias, some show autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance, and others are caused by mitochondrial mutations and thus show maternal inheritance. Significant progress has been made in defining the molecular basis of these syndromes, so that a genotype classification now supersedes previous ones based on clinical features alone.
