Table 3.

Motor milestones and neurological symptoms of NP-C in the untreated vs treated groups (in chronological order)

No-miglustat group n = 16 Miglustat treated group n = 10 p value

 Age at acquisition 0.75 (0.5–2) uk = 4 0.83 (0.7–1.4) na = 1, uk = 2 x
 Age at loss 2.83 (2.25–5.9) uk = 6 3.1 (1.9–3.8) uk = 1 0.8
Standing position with help or walk with help
 Age at acquisition 1.25 (0.75–2) uk = 5 1.25 (0.8–2.25) na = 3 x
 Age at loss 2.5 (1.5–5.5) uk = 9 2.91 (2.4–3.4) uk = 1 x
Autonomous walk 1.7 (0.8–2) na = 10, uk = 2 na = 9, uk = 1 x
Delayed language development 1.63 (0.75–2.3) uk = 10 1.56 (0.75–2.4) uk = 2 x
Cerebellar signs 1.88 (1.25–3.5) uk = 7 2.21 (1.2–3.9) uk = 2 0.60
VSGP or oculomotor apraxia 2.33 (1.6–5.25) uk = 11 2.58 (0.7–4.6) uk = 1 x
Limb hypertonia 2.54 (2.1–4.4) uk = 6 2 .13 (0.7–3.9) uk = 2 0.20
Seizures 2.75 (2.4–4.5) uk = 8 3.37 (2.75–5.6) uk = 6 x
Neuropathic pain 2.83 (2.75–4) uk = 12 3.08 (0.7–4.8) uk = 5 x
Swallowing trouble 3.04 (0.7–4.6) uk = 8 2.37 (0.25–2.8) uk = 4 x
Gelastic cataplexy 3.5 (2.2–4.5) uk = 13 4.08 (2.5–4.6) uk = 6 x

The ages are reported as median (range) and expressed in years. Ataxia, dysmetria and/or impaired global or fine coordination were considered as cerebellar signs. Limb hypertonia reported here was spastic or dystonic. Abbreviations: x: no statistical test due to inadequate sample size; uk: data unknown (= n); na: never acquired (= n); VSGP = vertical supranuclear gaze palsy
