 Outcomes

His performance in school was normal. He had unsteady gait follow up till age of 9.5

She could walk several steps without support with an unsteady gait. Her vocabulary was normal follow up till age of 5.5

He could only speak a few words but had good language comprehension follow up till age of 4.5

Improvement in biochemical and clinical results

NA

Slowly progressive neurology disorder with ataxic gait, dystonia, and choreoathetoid movements

Became much more calm and less aggressive, and started to talk

Progressing well. She walked alone at 21 months, and started to speakat 2 years

Biochemicalimprovement was observed with progressive clinical amelioration

Slight truncal ataxia. No further episodes were observed over the next thirteen months
