title: [Classification of hereditary cerebellar ataxias].
abstract: The hereditary cerebellar ataxias are one of the most complex group of neurogenetic diseases. A review of the several attempts do classify the heredoataxias is presented. The classifications based on clinical and genetic grounds are the most useful. The recent advances in molecular genetics are prone to give important clues for elucidation and understanding of the pathogenesis of heredodegenerative cerebellar diseases.
