In the following list you will find some of the most common rare diseases related to Ataxia and Motor delay that can help you solving undiagnosed cases.
Autosomal dominant remitting MLC2B is characterized by infantile-onset of macrocephaly and mildly delayed motor development associated with white matter abnormalities on brain MRI that improve with age. As children, some patients have mild residual hypotonia or clumsiness, but otherwise have no residual motor abnormalities. About 40% of patients have mental retardation (summary by van der Knaap et al., 2010 and Lopez-Hernandez et al., 2011).Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the HEPACAM gene can cause a more severe and progressive disorder associated with ataxia, spasticity, and mental retardation (MLC2A ).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, see MLC1 (OMIM ).

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

More info about AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE CEREBELLAR ATAXIA-EPILEPSY-INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY SYNDROME DUE TO RUBCN DEFICIENCYSCA15 is an autosomal dominant, adult-onset, very slowly progressive form of cerebellar ataxia. Most patients also have disabling action and postural tremor, and some have pyramidal tract affection, dorsal column involvement, and gaze palsy. Brain imaging shows cerebellar atrophy mainly affecting the vermis (summary by Synofzik et al., 2011).Heterozygous mutation in the ITPR1 gene can also cause SCA29 (OMIM ), which is distinguished by onset in infancy of delayed motor development followed by nonprogressive ataxia and mild cognitive impairment.Autosomal dominant 'pure' cerebellar ataxia, classified as ADCA type III by {3,4:Harding (1983, 1993)}, is a genetically heterogeneous disorder (see, e.g., {117210}).For a general discussion of autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia, see SCA1 (OMIM ).

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts-2A is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by infantile-onset macrocephaly and later onset of motor deterioration, with ataxia and spasticity, seizures, and cognitive decline of variable severity. Brain MRI shows typical white matter abnormalities, including swelling of the cerebral white matter and subcortical cysts, in all stages of the disease (summary by Lopez-Hernandez et al., 2011).Heterozygous mutations in the HEPACAM gene can cause a similar, but less severe disorder that shows improvement of MRI changes with age (MLC2B ).

X-linked non progressive cerebellar ataxia is a rare hereditary ataxia characterized by delayed early motor development, severe neonatal hypotonia, non-progressive ataxia and slow eye movements, presenting normal cognitive abilities and absence of pyramidal signs. Frequently patients also manifest intention tremor, mild dysphagia, and dysarthria. Brain MRI reveals global cerebellar atrophy with absence of other malformations or degenerations of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
