How does Spinocerebellar Ataxia affect the other organ systems?


I'm doing a disease project and I'm a bit lost. I'm searching for all the organ systems that SCA would affect and what it does to each system. I've got nervous and muscle-- if im wrong, please correct me. Are there any other systems that are affected?
