Lopes-Cendes,Iscia; Teive,Hélio G.A.; Cardoso,Francisco; Viana,Erika M.; Calcagnotto,Maria E.; Costa,Jaderson C. da; Trevisol-Bittencourt,Paulo C.Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is a form of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia first described in North-American patients originating from the Portuguese islands of the Azores. Clinically this disorder is characterized by late onset progressive ataxia with associated features, such as: ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs and distal muscular atrophies. The causative mutation is an expansion ...

Lopes-Cendesi,Iscia; Teive,Hélio G.A.; Calcagnotto,Maria E; da Costa,Jaderson C.; Cardoso,Francisco; Viana,Erika; Maciel,Jaime A.; Radvany,JoãoSpinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) and Machado-Joseph disease or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (MJD/SCA3) are three distinctive forms of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) caused by expansions of an unstable CAG repeat localized in the coding region of the causative genes. Another related disease, dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is also caused by a...
