A novel homozygous variant in an Iranian pedigree with cerebellar ataxia mental retardation and dysequilibrium syndrome type 4

摘要

Cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation, and dysequilibrium (CAMRQ) syndrome is a rare and early‐onset neurodevelopmental disorder. Four subtypes of this syndrome have been identified, which are clinically and genetically different. To date, altogether 32 patients have been described with ATP8A2 mutations and phenotypic features assigned to CAMRQ type 4. Herein, three additional patients in an Iranian consanguineous family with non‐progressive cerebellar ataxia, severe hypotonia, intellectual disability, dysarthria, and cerebellar atrophy have been identified.
