Abstract

Ring chromosome 21 syndrome is a rare clinical condition. Most of the patients have a recognizable phenotype and multisystem involvement is described. Structural neurologic anomalies have also been described, but waddling gait due to lower motor neuron involvement has not been previously reported in association with ring 21.
