Inherited defects in this gene cause a slowly progressive degeneration of cells in the cerebellum that causes the neurologic phenotypes of Ataxia. It is not yet known how abnormalities of this protein cause degeneration of the cerebellum.<\/p><p>SCA14 is not common.

Other symptoms may include poor coordination of speaking (dysarthria), and tremor of the hands when reaching for objects. Less common symptoms have included stiffness of the muscles (rigidity), muscular spasms (dystonia) and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). A few persons with SCA14 have developed brief shaking episodes of the arms or body referred to as myoclonus.
