Deskripsi
Key Clinical Message Congenital Contractures of Limbs and Face, Hypotonia, and Developmental Delay (CLIFAHDD) syndrome is a recently described type of distal arthrogryposis which unlike other subtypes is associated with developmental delay and various neurologic presentation. Epilepsy and ataxia have been reported. We add paroxysmal dyskinesia to the clinical spectrum. Understanding the molecular mechanism can help developing targeted therapy in future. Abstract This study resulted in identification of a novel variant in NALCN gene leading to autosomal dominant CLIFAHDD syndrome. Our patient presented with a form of nonepileptic paroxysmal dyskinesia. This is a new phenotype that has not been described previously.
