5 members of a family with periodic cerebellar dysfunctions are described. This rare disorder occurred in the early childhood and is characterised by episodes lasting minutes to hours with severe cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, diplopie, nystagmus, vertigo and vegetative symptoms. The examinations between attacks are almost normal. The inheritance appears to be autosomal dominant. An atrophy of the cerebellar vermis was found in two patients.

Background: Understanding the sequential progression of cognitive decline in autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD) in the Latino population is crucial for enhancing early identification for targeted interventions. Given the tablet-based administration and increasing frequency of use in epidemiological research, validating this progression within the NIH Toolbox cognitive battery (NIHTB-CB) is important.
Objective: The first aim was to utilize an innovative Event-Based Modeling (EBM) analytic approach to estimate the sequence of cognitive declines in persons at risk for ADAD enriched for being of Latino origin.
