We have treated some of the most severe MdDS patients. While I cannot say that we have treated someone with this condition from birth, MdDS has a significant component involving the cerebellum, and we have treated other genetic cerebellar conditions with success. So that is the data at hand. It would also be curious to truly find out if this is in fact genetic or autoimmune from birth in terms of the etiology. Let us know if this is something you want to proceed with.
