A rare genetic developmental defect during embryogenesis characterized by progressive childhood/early adulthood-onset sensorineural hearing loss (which may be bilateral), adolescence-onset myoclonus, provoked by light and bright colors and cerebellar ataxia (manifests as gait instability, and intention tremor). Generalized tonic-clonic seizures may also be present. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1984.
