Abstract

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3; Machado-Joseph disease, MJD) is the most common autosomal-dominant form of genetic ataxia worldwide. However, it has never been reported in Eastern Europe. This letter presents the first three families with SCA3 from Poland and discusses the practical implications of the disease for clinicians.
