Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 6 to 18 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Child, Adult
Study population: Known patients with ataxia/ataxia telangiectasia
Who may be able to join
- Patients aged 6-18 years with diagnosed with ataxia, preferably AT will be included. The diagnosis of AT will be made based on the criteria: typical clinical picture plus one of the following: 1. a proven mutation in the ATM gene 2. Deficient ATM protein proven by Western blotting 3. Elevated α-fetoprotein, cerebellar atrophy on MRI and immune deficiency/ chromosomal breakage/ T- cell lymphoreticular malignancy.
- Children aged 6-18 years with suspected AT (fulfilling partially the above criteria will be included)
- Children aged 6-18 years with AT like disease, with or without proven mutation in the MRE11 gene will be included
- Children aged 6-18 years of age with ataxia of other known or unknown etiologies might be included, but their total number should not exceed 20% of the cohort in each site
Who cannot join

About this study
Official title: APPLICABILITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL ATAXIA RATING SCALE (ICARS) IN YOUNGER PATIENTS AND DEVELOPMENT OF GLOBAL RATING INSTRUMENTS FOR PATIENTS WITH ATAXIA TELANGIECTASIA (AT)
The project will collect information on the mapping of clinical ratings on a number of scales that are used in the assessment of patients with ataxias.
- Conditions
- Ataxia Telangiectasia
- Medical subject headings
- Ataxia Telangiectasia
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| No Treatment | Collect pilot data on the performance of the ICARS in patients younger than 10 years of age, as well as to introduce definitions for the various clinically defined stages of AT, and attempt to develop descriptors of change that could help in the assessment of patients longitudinally. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Correlation Analysis
The primary outcome is validity of ICARS in children younger than 10 years of age (by comparing the mean scores and subscores between children aged 6-10 years of age to those aged 10-18 years of age).
Measured: single visit
