Abstract
We describe two novel missense variants in CACNA1A segregating in a family with variable severity of ataxia/oculomotor dysfunction, neurobehavioral impairments, and epilepsy. The most severe outcome occurred in a compound heterozygous proband, which could represent variable expression of the paternal allele or biallelic modulation of calcium channel function. Acetazolamide and lamotrigine were effective for seizure control.
