Some people present with generalized weakness in infancy while others present with adult-onset weakness that may include proximal muscles and sensory loss. Many people’s first symptom is cramping in the legs. [cmtausa.org]

  Entry H01155 Disease Name Roussy-Levy syndrome Description Roussy-Levy syndrome (RLS) is a dominantly inherited early-onset syndrome consisting of gait ataxia, pes cavus, areflexia, eventually associated with muscle atrophy, postural tremors, limb ataxia [genome.jp]

  Additional features of rhythmic shaking (static tremor) in the hands and an unsteady gait (gait ataxia) are specific to Roussy Levy syndrome. This disorder is caused by issues with nerve conduction and sensory dysfunction. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

  In 1926, Roussy and Lévy described a large family whose members manifested an early onset dominantly inherited gait ataxia, pes cavus, and areflexia, which was eventually associated with distal muscle atrophy, postural tremor, and minor sensory loss. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Clumsiness

  IN 1926, Roussy and Lévy1 described a familial syndrome characterized by (1) clumsy gait, (2) abnormalities of equilibrium which were evident on standing and more pronounced with eye closure, (3) areflexia, (4) clubfeet, (5) awkwardness and weakness of [jamanetwork.com]

  They noticed that prominent features of this disorder were an unsteady gait during early childhood and areflexia, or the absence of reflexes, which eventually led to clumsiness and muscle weakness. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Symptoms include clumsiness of the hands, and disturbance of gait caused by impaired equilibrium. Symptoms first appear in early childhood and progress slowly throughout life. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. [whonamedit.com]

  They reported a disorder characterized by unsteady gait during early childhood with pes cavus and generalized areflexia, distal amyotrophy and weakness, clumsiness, postural tremor with limb ataxia and usually preserved sensation. [movementdisorders.org]
