Article Synopsis
- CANVAS is a genetic condition that affects balance and coordination, caused by changes in a specific gene called RFC1.
- Researchers studied 163 patients in France with different types of ataxia and found that 15 had the CANVAS condition, but only in the group with late-onset ataxia.
- The study suggests that doctors should check for the RFC1 gene changes mostly in patients with unexplained late-onset ataxia and nerve issues, not so much in those suspected of having a different condition called MSA-C.
