Thumbnail imageNo patient with Ataxia Telangiectasia is like any other in the development of the disease. There are also almost as many gene alterations that are patients.

Thus, if the symptoms of AT are the same for all, they do not necessarily express themselves with the same evidence and neither at the same age: there is no typical profile.

In early disease, one of the symptoms is usually prominent. However, each symptom in isolation is often characteristic of other familiar diseases. This explains that the initial diagnosis is often distorted and in any case long.

Currently, the average time between first signs of the disease and the diagnosis is a little over 2 years.
