The main clinical feature is cerebellar ataxia, which can be accompanied by dysarthria, tremor, pyramidal tract sign and dementia.

Secondly, there is an abnormal CAG repeat in the gene, which produces polyglutamines.

Finally: according to the procedure of clinical examination of nervous system, we can judge whether the patient has clinical signs of cerebellar and spinal cord neurological disorders, and then we will inquire about his family history (including his deceased relatives). Finally, we can judge whether the patient has spinocerebellar ataxia by excluding other degenerative diseases involving cerebellum and brainstem in combination with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and gene testing. Therefore, in the occurrence of similar diseases, timely inspection is very important.
