Test Price: ₹ 3200
SCA3 (Machado-Joseph disease) is an autosomal dominant ataxia being one of the most common among majority of populations. It is classified into 3 types namely- Type I (Amotrophic lateral sclerosis-Parkinsonism-Dystonia type); Type II (Ataxic type) & Type III (Ataxic-Amyotrophic type).
