Viewpoint: spinocerebellar ataxias as diseases of Purkinje cell dysfunction rather than Purkinje cell loss

Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of hereditary neurodegenerative diseases mostly affecting cerebellar Purkinje cells caused by a wide variety of different mutations. One subtype, SCA14, is caused by mutations of Protein Kinase C gamma (PKCγ), the dominant PKC isoform present in Purkinje ce...
