| TAPETORETINAL DEGENERATION WITH ATAXIA | ||||||
| Clinical Synopsis | ||||||
| TEXT | ||||||
| There appear to be several types. In one variety the ataxia is of the Marie type. Although the inheritance is usually dominant, recessive pedigrees have been observed (Walsh, 1957). In a second form the ataxia is of Friedreich type (229300). The inheritance is recessive. Mixed or more complex types of neurologic involvement with ataxia occur in a third type. As one would expect, this is a heterogeneous category. Refsum disease (266500) and abetalipoproteinemia (200100) give this combination of findings. See also ophthalmoplegia-plus (530000) and olivopontocerebellar atrophy III (164500). | ||||||
