UNASSIGNED: AGS patients from an adult movement disorders outpatient clinic were retrospectively analyzed.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 5 patients and 1 asymptomatic carrier from 3 different families were identified. All had a homozygous c.529G>A,p.A177T mutation in exon 7 of the RNASEH2B gene. Two patients had neonatal-onset AGS, 2 had later onset forms, and 1 was slightly symptomatic. All were diagnosed in adulthood after chilblains, and basal ganglia calcifications were identified on computed tomography scans.
UNASSIGNED: AGS patients have marked phenotypic variability regarding psychomotor development and morbidity. The present series included 1 asymptomatic carrier and 1 slightly symptomatic patient, both with homozygous RNASEH2B mutations. Chilblains and basal ganglia calcifications identified on computed tomography scan (but not on magnetic resonance imaging) are important clues for late diagnosis.
