Chorea-Acanthocytosis Genotype in the Original Critchley Kentucky Neuroacanthocytosis Kindred by Velayos-Baeza, A, Holinski-Feder, E, Neitzel, B, Bader, B, Critchley, E, Monaco, A, Danek, A, Walker, R

“…Objective: Todetermine the molecular nature of the neurological disease in the seminal family reported by Critchley et al inthe 1960s, characterized by a hyperkinetic movement disorder and the appearance of acanthocytosis on peripheral blood smear. The eponym Levine-Critchley syndrome, subsequently termed neuroacanthocytosis, has been applied to symptomatically similar, but genetically distinct, disorders, resulting in clinical and diagnostic confusion. …”
