title: [Cerebellar ataxia in three generations with apparently dominant inheritance (author's transl)].
abstract: The clinical features and genetic inheritance of cerebellar ataxia, presumably of the Holmer type, are described in a family with four affected members over three generations. Two of these cases were severly affected, whilst the remaining two cases were probably of a relatively mild form. The pitfalls in diagnosis are discussed and the dangers of incorrect diagnosis pointed out.
