The clinical manifestations of the disease are, lactic acidosis, alopecia, ataxia, spastic paraplegia, seizure and developmental delay.

First patient was an Infant (3 months old-male) and second patient was an infant (5months old-male) that both of them referred for developmental delay, seizure, alopecia and spastic paraplegia.
