Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Alternating hemiplegia of childhood is a rare syndrome of episodic hemi- or quadriplegia
lasting minutes to days. Most cases are accompanied by dystonic posturing, choreoathetoid
movements, nystagmus, other ocular motor abnormalities, autonomic disturbances, and
progressive cognitive impairment (Mikati et al., 1992). The disorder may mimic or
overlap with other disorders, including familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM1; 141500)
and GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (606777) (Rotstein et al., 2009). - Genetic Heterogeneity
of Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood See also AHC2 (614820), caused by mutation
in the ATP1A3 gene (182350).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ATPase, Na K transporting, alpha-2 polypeptide gene (ATP1A2,
