Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA or SAMS) is a genetic disease of the nervous system. Affected dogs present the first signs of ataxia around the age of 3 to 6 months. The symptoms of this pathology are a loss of balance, a progressive lack of coordination until the total loss of mobility. Another test for late-onset spinocerebellar ataxia is available. For more information, consult the DOG-LOA test.
