Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia-epilepsy-intellectual disability syndrome due to RUBCN deficiency

What it is

An extremely rare, autosomal recessive, hereditary cerebellar ataxia disorder characterized by early onset of progressive, mild to moderate gait and limb ataxia, moderate to severe dysarthria, and nystagmus or saccadic pursuit, frequently associated with epilepsy, moderate intellectual disability, delayed speech acquisition, and hyporeflexia in the upper extremities. Hyperreflexia in the lower extremities may also be associated.

Disease

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Related health topics

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
