A systematic and comprehensive clinical characterization of non-ataxia symptoms was performed by means of the Inventory of Non-Ataxia Symptoms (INAS) (Schmitz-Hubsch et al., 2008). The INAS has 30 items comprising of 29 items related to 16 symptoms and one open question (item # 30 “other abnormal clinical findings or reported abnormalities”). In line with previous studies applying the INAS (Schmitz-Hubsch et al., 2008; Jacobi et al., 2011), only the presence or absence (but not the degree) of the respective INAS symptom was noted in this study. The number of INAS symptoms was counted in each patient, yielding the semi- quantitative INAS count, a dimensionless value with a range from 0 (absence of non-ataxia symptoms) to 16 (most severe extra-cerebellar involvement).

The 16 variables are grouped from the INAS form as follows: variable # symptom item of the INAS inventory INAS count 1 Areflexia 1,2,3 2 Hyperreflexia 1,2,3 3 Extensor plantar 4 4 Spasticity 5 5 Paresis 6 6 Muscle atrophy 7 7 Fasciculations 8 8 Myoclonus 9 9 Rigidity 10 10 Chorea/dyskinesia 11 11 Dystonia 12 NEUROLOGY/2012/446104 2
