title: Ataxia-telangiectasia.
abstract: Ataxia-telangiectasia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early ataxia, oculocutaneous telangiectasias, sinopulmonary infections, selective immunodeficiency, and a high risk of malignancy. The appearance of the telangiectasias often allows the diagnosis to be made in a child with ataxia.
