Ataxia is a type of movement disorder characterized by lack of muscle control or coordination of voluntary movements. Some of the symptoms observed in the patients with ataxia are poor coordination, change in speech, difficulty in swallowing, and unsteady walk. The disease causes include head injury; stroke; autoimmune diseases, such as sarcoidosis and multiple sclerosis; paraneoplastic syndromes; and viral infections. The disease is also found in patients with vitamin E, B12, or thiamine deficiency. Ataxia can be diagnosed by lumbar puncture; imaging studies, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging; and genetic testing. Catabasis Pharmaceuticals Inc. is in the process of developing CAT4001 as a NFE2 related factor 2 stimulant for the treatment of ataxia.
