Abstrakt: A Bedouin family is described with an unusual form of spinocerebellar degeneration. Spastic ataxia was found to be associated with congenital cataracts, macular corneal dystrophy and non-axial myopia, in the absence of retardation of somatic or mental maturation. Immunological abnormalities were common. Genetic analysis revealed that the pedigree is expressing the transmission and segregation of a single mutant autosomal recessive gene.
