- Generalized Seizure
Only 1 patient had 4 generalized seizures between 15 and 29 years of age. Brain imaging showed cerebellar atrophy and hypointensities in the globus pallidus and substantia nigra, suggestive of abnormal iron deposition. [findzebra.com]
- Walking Delay
All had delayed psychomotor development with mildly delayed walking, delayed speech, intellectual disability (IQ of 40 to 50), and behavioral abnormalities. One of the patients died at age 21 years. [findzebra.com]
