  • A slowly progressive Refsum-like disorder associating signs of peripheral neuropathy with late-onset hearing loss, cataract and pigmentary retinopathy that becomes evident during the third decade of life. The syndrome has been described in three patients from a consanguineous family (one brother, one sister and a male cousin). The disease manifests during childhood with pes cavus and tendo-achilles contractures. A disorder of gait, due to ataxia and spasticity, develops during adulthood. Contrarily to Refsum disease, plasmatic phytanic and pristanic acid levels as well as alpha-oxidation enzymatic activity are normal. Transmission is autosomal recessive. The disease was mapped on chromosome 20 (20p11.21-q12).
