Compound Heterozygosity in Cerebellar Ataxia, Mental Retardation, and Disequilibrium Syndrome Type 4.

Cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation, and disequilibrium syndrome (CAMRQ) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorder with four described subtypes. Autosomal recessive syndrome of cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation, and disequilibrium type 4 (CAMRQ4) is caused by mutations in the gene. We report an 8-year-old boy with choreoathetosis, hypotonia, without the ability to keep his head up and profound mental retardation.
