Our data provide a comprehensive characterization of peripheral nerve damage in SCA3 and assist in understanding the mechanisms of the multisystemic disease evolution. Evidence of peripheral nerve involvement prior to the onset of clinically overt ataxia might have important implications for designing early intervention studies.
