Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia 27B is the most common genetic late onset cerebellar ataxia (LOCA). However, it commonly overlaps with other genetic LOCA as with the cerebellar form of multiple system atrophy (MSA-C).
Objectives: To pinpoint which clinical signs and symptoms best discriminate between FGF14 + from FGF14 - patients at symptoms' onset.

Purpose: To evaluate the positive predictive value and factors predictive of malignancy of additional calcifications in the pre-therapeutic work-up of a synchronous breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: Institutional review board approval was obtained for this retrospective study and informed consent was waved. Consecutive patients referred to our center between January 1st 2018 and December 31st 2022 for a breast cancer and who presented additional calcifications detected during the pretreatment work-up were eligible for inclusion in this study.
Article Synopsis
- Spinocerebellar ataxia 27B (SCA27B) is a disease that affects balance and coordination, caused by a genetic change in a specific part of a gene called FGF14.
- Research shows that most brain damage from this disease happens mainly in the cerebellum, which controls movement.
- In a study of blood samples and brain tissue, scientists found that the genetic change was mostly stable over time, but it exhibited more growth in the cerebellum than in other brain areas, helping to explain why SCA27B mainly affects that part of the brain.
