Cerebellar Ataxia – Finnish Hound

Cerebellar Ataxia (CA) is a rare disorder characterised by progressive cerebellar neurodegeneration. CA is characterised by degeneration of the cerebellar structures, which results in progressive motor incoordination. This variant of the disorder, found in the Finnish Hound, is also known as Finnish Hound Ataxia (FHA). It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene SEL1L.
