CAPOS syndrome
Definition:
Cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss (CAPOS) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant neurological disorder. CAPOS is characterized by a relapsing, early onset cerebellar ataxia, associated with progressive optic atrophy and sensorineural deafness. An identical heterozygous missense mutation in ATP1A3 gene was found in CAPOS patients.
