Abstract
Two young adult brothers presented with a 5‐ to 6‐Hz resting tremor of the upper limbs. Although ataxia was not unequivocally present and ocular telangiectasia was minimal, typical rearrangements of chromosomes 7 and 14, and increased α‐fetoprotein levels indicated the presence of ataxia telangiectasia (AT). Resting tremor as a predominating symptom in AT is uncommon and to our knowledge has not been described previously.
