Core Tip	Molecular diagnosis of autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias (ARCA) is challenging due to clinical overlap and increased genetic heterogeneity. Although use of traditional techniques led to the identification of causative mutations in the past, the recent employment of novel technologies in this field, has initiated a new era in the molecular diagnosis of ARCA. Limitations such as small sized families, large numbers of candidate genes within mapped intervals and large sized genes hindered the timely discovery of ARCA genes using conventional Sanger sequencing. ARCA gene discovery and molecular diagnosis should be achievable at a much faster rate through the use of whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing technologies.
