McLeod Syndrome
McLeod syndrome is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by movement disorder, cognitive impairment and psychiatric symptoms. Movement in many parts of the body is impaired by this syndrome. The symptoms are mostly consistent with the general symptoms for neuroacanthocytosis disorders. Heart problems such as arrhythmia and dilated cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart) are also commonly seen in individuals with this disease. Behaviorial changes are also an early indicator of McLeod syndrome.
