Cerebellar ataxia may occur as a result of autoantibodies to cerebellar targets, which may include antibodies to the Purkinje cell antigen Yo, the voltage gated calcium channel (VGCC), or tissue transglutaminase (tTG). Gluten ataxia is associated with widespread tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA deposition around vessels in the cerebellum, pons, and medulla.
