Definition

A rare genetic syndromic intellectual disability characterized by global developmental delay, intellectual disability, infantile or childhood onset of progressive ataxia, and bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment. Variable features include signs of upper and lower motor neuron disease, peripheral neuropathy, myopathic facies, lower limb muscle wasting, and heel contractures. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1993. [from ORDO]

Cerebellar ataxia
MedGen UID:
849
•Concept ID:
C0007758
•
Disease or Syndrome
Cerebellar ataxia refers to ataxia due to dysfunction of the cerebellum. This causes a variety of elementary neurological deficits including asynergy (lack of coordination between muscles, limbs and joints), dysmetria (lack of ability to judge distances that can lead to under- or overshoot in grasping movements), and dysdiadochokinesia (inability to perform rapid movements requiring antagonizing muscle groups to be switched on and off repeatedly).

Intellectual disability
MedGen UID:
811461
•Concept ID:
C3714756
•
Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70.
