Abstract
Consanguineous marriages may lead to the propagation of a number of autosomal recessive genetic diseases. Spontaneous mutations causing diseases with autosomal dominant transmission may also, of course, occur in such families. Here we describe a rare co-occurrence of type 4 autosomal recessive mucopolysaccharidosis (Morquio syndrome) alongwith the autosomal dominant type 2 spinocerebellar ataxia within the same family.
