G11.3: Cerebellar ataxia with defective DNA repair
You have a condition that means your cerebellum is unable to control movements properly.
The cerebellum is part of the brain. The cerebellum is important for movement and balance. The cerebellum stores movement processes, for example, how one eats with cutlery or rides a bike.
When the cerebellum is unhealthy, you are generally unable to execute movements with precision. For example, you may be unable to walk properly. You may also be unable to balance properly. Speech may also be affected. You may also be unable to control your eye movements properly. Depending on the nature of the condition there may be other symptoms, too.
The disease is hereditary. Other family members may also be affected.
