Alternating Hemiplegia Of Childhood 2; Ahc2

Description

Alternating hemiplegia of childhood is a rare syndrome characterized by infantile onset of episodic hemi-or quadriplegia. Most cases are accompanied by dystonic posturing, choreoathetoid movements, abnormal ocular movements, developmental delay, and progressive cognitive impairment (summary by Heinzen et al., 2012).For discussion of genetic heterogeneity of alternating hemiplegia of childhood, see AHC1 (OMIM ).
