Neurodevelopmental delay-hypotonia-cerebellar ataxia-cardiac conduction defects syndrome

What it is

A rare genetic neurological syndrome characterized by cerebellar ataxia, neurodevelopmental delay, poor motor development and growth, mild to severe intellectual disability and infantile-onset hypotonia. Many patients have cardiac conduction and rhythm anomalies (including bundle branch block, bradycardia, sinus node dysfunction, intraventricular conduction delay, atrioventricular block, and ventricular tachycardia) in childhood or adolescence. Additional clinical features may include variable ocular anomalies and dysmorphic features.

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.

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.

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