Novel SACS mutations associated with intellectual disability, epilepsy and widespread supratentorial abnormalities.

Abstract excerpt

We describe eight subjects from two consanguineous families segregating with autosomal recessive childhood onset spastic ataxia, peripheral neuropathy and intellectual disability. The degree of intellectual disability varied from mild to severe and all four affected individuals in one family developed aggressive behavior and epilepsy.
