OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and genetic findings in a family affected by neurodevelopmental delay and cerebellar ataxia. METHODS: The affected mother and her two children underwent clinical assessments followed by radiological, neurophysiological and cytogenetic investigations. RESULTS: All three affected members exhibited varying degrees of delay in attaining motor and cognitive milestones, along with learning difficulties and cerebellar ataxia. All three harboured a new 670 kb deletion of chromosome 12q21. Two genes, KCNC2 and ATXN7L3B, lie within the deleted region. CONCLUSIONS: This family's complex phenotype is associated with a new chromosomal deletion, which suggests potential roles for the two genes, KCNC2 and ATXN7L3B, in human neurological disease.
