Historically, Harding (1982) proposed a clinical classification for autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCAs). ADCA I was characterized by cerebellar ataxia in combination with various associated neurologic features, such as ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs, peripheral neuropathy, and dementia, among others. ADCA II was characterized by the cerebellar ataxia, associated neurologic features, and the additional findings of macular and retinal degeneration
