-
A rare neurometabolic disease characterised by a childhood onset of progressive spastic ataxia associated with gait disturbances, hyperreflexia, extensor plantar responses and non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia typically revealed by biochemical analysis. Additional signs of upper extremity spasticity, dysarthria, learning difficulties, poor concentration, nystagmus, optic atrophy and reduced visual acuity may also be associated. There is evidence the disease is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the GLRX5 gene on chromosome 14q32.
