Who gets AADC Deficiency?

In 1992 the first two children (twins) were correctly diagnosed with AADC Deficiency (see Hyland K. Surtees R.A.H. Rodeck C. and Clayton P.T. (1992). Aromatic L Amino acid decarboxylase deficiency: Clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of a new inborn error of neurotransmitter amine synthesis. Neurology 42, 1980-1988.)

Subsequent to this approx 75 children, around the World, have been diagnosed with the disease.
