Here, we report a novel nonsense p.Gln113* mutation in VPS13A identified by whole-exome sequencing, which caused ChAc in a Moroccan family. This is the first description of ChAc in Morocco with genetic confirmation, that expands the mutation diversity of VPS13A and provide clinical, neuroimaging and deep brain stimulation findings.
