ABSTRACT‐ We have studied erythrocyte metabolism in a family affected by cerebellar ataxia. 3 of the subjects showed a severe clinical picture, and 3 were clinically normal. In all 6 subjects, we have revealed an increase in enolase activity in erythrocytes. These findings may be relevant for early diagnosis of the disease.
