Childhood ‐onset cerebellar ataxia in Japan: A questionnaire‐based survey

ConclusionsThe diagnostic rate of childhood ‐onset CA in the current study was comparable to those reported in other countries. The high prevalence of autosomal dominant ataxia, especially DRPLA, was a signature of CA in Japan. These data offer insights into the characteristics of childhood‐onset CA in the Japanese population.
