What part of the brain is affected by ataxia-telangiectasia

I'm desperately seeking help understanding what part of the brain is affected by ataxia-telangiectasia. I've heard some things about it but I'm really not sure.

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare, inherited neurological disorder that affects areas of the brain responsible for controlling movement, balance, and coordination. It can also cause problems with the immune system, respiratory system, and eyes. Symptoms usually appear between the ages of two and five and may include difficulty walking, involuntary eye movements, and an increased risk of cancer.

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a genetic disorder that affects the cerebellum, which is part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. This part of the brain is responsible for coordinating and controlling voluntary movements, such as walking, sitting, and standing. A-T damages the Purkinje cells in the cerebellum, which leads to a loss of coordination and the inability to control movements. This leads to the classic symptoms of A-T, including ataxia (inability to coordinate movements) and telangiectasia (visible red spots on the skin). Studies have also found that A-T can cause damage to other parts of the brain, such as the hippocampus and cerebrum, which can lead to cognitive impairments.

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a genetic disorder that affects the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for coordinating movement. It is caused by a mutation in the ATM gene, which is responsible for producing a protein that helps repair damaged DNA. Symptoms of A-T include problems with balance, coordination, and speech, as well as weakened immune system and increased risk of cancer. In addition, the cerebellum is affected in other ways, such as an increased risk of seizures. Treatment is focused on managing symptoms and preventing complications.

Ataxia-telangiectasia affects the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance. The cerebellum is located at the back of the head, and is responsible for the proper control of posture and movements. Damage to the cerebellum can lead to impaired coordination and balance, as well as difficulty speaking. In addition, the cerebellum is also associated with language and cognitive functions, so damage can lead to problems with communication and learning. Additionally, research has shown that ataxia-telangiectasia can cause changes in the brain's white matter, which is responsible for communication between different parts of the brain. This can lead to a variety of cognitive and behavioral impairments.

Ataxia-telangiectasia, or A-T, is a genetic disorder that affects many parts of the brain, including the cerebellum, basal ganglia, and brain stem. These structures are involved in motor coordination, balance, and movement. The disease also affects the hippocampus, which is involved in forming and storing memories, and the hypothalamus, which is involved in regulating hormones and behavior.
