Presentation
In addition to parkinsonism, the patient presented with autosomal recessive CPEO [ 8 ]. [neupsykey.com]
As cited by the authors, we have previously described three other members of this family who all presented with pure focal dystonia before starting to develop ataxia years later. 2 A larger study in progress on the phenotypic spectrum of SCA17 revealed [neurology.org]
The predominant motor feature can change with time and patients with cerebellar ataxia can develop increasingly severe parkinsonian features which dominate the clinical presentation. [orpha.net]
Children with the NALD presentation may reach their teens, and those with the IRD presentation may reach adulthood. [mendelian.co]
