Hypodontia means that not all teeth are present. Other names of 4H syndrome include "Ataxia, hypodontia and hypomyelination (AHH)" and "Ataxia, delayed dentition and hypomyelination (ADDH)". [vumc.com]

  Childhood development was characterized by occurrence of a progressive cerebellar ataxia, short stature, mental development retardation (IQ = 46), and hypodontia (i.e., absence of deciduous teeth eruption and short tooth roots). [semanticscholar.org]

  Delayed dentition with abnormal order of deciduous tooth eruption was reported in 65/91 (71%), with the upper median incisors erupting late or not at all. Hypodontia was present in 71/98 (72%) (figure 1). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Children with 4H can have difficult to understand speech (dysarthria) which impacts their ability to communicate even if they understand and know words and language. Learning disabilities. [chop.edu]

• Dysmetria

  Many patients had severe intention tremor and dysmetria; in others, gait ataxia was evident, whereas appendicular ataxia was mild. Abnormal smooth pursuit and gaze-evoked nystagmus were present in most patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
