A member asked:
Dx dysautonomia. breathing difficulties. does having both genes - spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (sca1)atxn1 rs697739 c cc +/+ mean something?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peut-etre ... non: Dysautonomia is not normally associated with SCA. It is smart to treat the dysautonomia symptoms. Do you know to do this? If that is going well, then I have no advice. What is the reason you had testing for the SCA1 genes? Do you have trouble walking, or does someone in your family have trouble walking? If may be helpful to know. For now though, this may have no significance.
