Hi refinisher :slight_smile:

Diagnosis is based on a person’s medical history, family history and a complete neurological evaluation. Including an MRI scan of the brain.

Various blood tests may be performed to rule out other possible disorders which may present similar symptoms.

Genetic blood tests are now available for some types of Hereditary Ataxia to confirm a diagnosis, or as a predictive test to determine if someone has inherited an Ataxia Gene known to affect other family members.

This information is from the National Ataxia Foundation.

I hope this answers your question refinisher:-) xB

If it's hereditary type then yes otherwise it's usually another cause and there is no lab work that can be done.
