Cette piste explorée par @esamarut.bsky.social, chercheur au CRCHUM, et la doctorante Fanny Nobilleau ouvre de nouvelles voies pour comprendre l’origine biologique des ataxies cérébelleuses tardives, des maladies rares caractérisées par des troubles de la coordination motrice.

Ataxies cérébelleuses tardives : une piste génétique dévoilée

Une anomalie dans le développement du cervelet pourrait-elle expliquer les troubles moteurs apparaissant des décennies plus tard chez les personnes atteintes de maladies rares du mouvement?
