A number of recessively inherited conditions with onset in infancy and childhood are characterized in part by ataxia. The ataxia may be intermittent, occurring from the accumulation of neurotoxic circulating metabolites, such as ammonia, or it may be persistent and progressive. These disorders are described in Chapter 46, and only brief mention is made here of those progressive conditions that can present in early adulthood. Hexaminidase A deficiency. Vitamin E deficiency. Abetalipoproteinemia (Bassen-Kornzweig disease). Ataxia with vitamin E deficiency(AVED). Ataxia telangiectasia (AT). Friedreichs ataxia (FA). |
