Description

Episodic ataxia is a genetically heterogeneous neurologic condition characterized by spells of incoordination and imbalance, often associated with progressive ataxia. Episodic ataxia type 2 is the most common form of EA (Jen et al., 2007).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of episodic ataxia, see EA1 (OMIM ).
