Muscular Atrophy, Ataxia, Retinitis Pigmentosa, And Diabetes Mellitus

In 10 persons in 4 generations, Furukawa et al. (1968) found muscular atrophy, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa, and diabetes mellitus. The diabetes was of relatively late onset. The disorder resembled Refsum syndrome (266500) except in its mode of inheritance. Several instances of male-to-male transmission were observed.
