Abstract
<p>Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cerebellar ataxia and other multisystem manifestations, such as Parkinsonism and pyramidal tract symptoms. No effective treatment is available for SCD. Approximately one-third of the cases of SCD are inherited, and the remaining two-third are sporadic, including multiple system atrophy. This article provides an overview of hereditary SCD, its clinical features, recent treatment advances, biomarkers, role of genomic medicine, and future treatment prospects.</p>
