ABSTRACT
The important clinical features of seven patients with an early onset slowly progressive heredofamilial spinocerebellar degenerative disorder of probably autosomal recessive inheritance included limb ataxia, retained and/or exaggerated tendon reflexes (biceps and knee), pyramidal weakness of lower limbs and normal sensory action potentials. This rare disorder is probably distinct from Friedreich's ataxia and carries a better prognosis.
