Hi FixSCA6
There was a study performed by a neurologist in Newcastle solely on patients in Newcastle that showed a high prevalence of SCA6 in the North East. This study was used to demonstrate that SCA6 is quite prevalent throughout the UK rather than being particularly prevalent just in Newcastle.
I know SCA6 is one of the more common SCAs in the UK. I have not heard that it is particularly so in Newcastle.

Thanks Harriet, do you have a link to the study please?
