Paroxysmal exercise-induced dystonia within the phenotypic spectrum of ECHS1 deficiency
Objective: To describe a family with two siblings affected by different dystonic disorders as a resulting phenotype of ECHS1 mutations. Background: ECHS1 encodes a mitochondrial…Dystonia, myoclonus, and tremor without epilepsy associated with a mutation in STXBP1
Objective: Describe a presentation of abnormal movements associated with a mutation in STXBP1. Background: STXBP1, or the syntaxin binding protein 1 gene, is involved in…Persistent myoclonic dystonia due to SCL2A1 mutation
Objective: We present a young woman with myoclonic dystonia due to a novel mutation in SCL2A1 gene. Background: Mutations in the SCL2A1 gene can cause…ADCY5 screening in paediatric-onset hyperkinetic movement disorders: Report of three new Italian families
Objective: To report three new cases with pathogenic ADCY5 mutations and describe their clinical phenotype. Background: ADCY5 is a recently identified gene responsible for a…Phenotypic insights into ADCY5-associated disease
Objective: We provide detailed clinical data on seven patients from six new kindreds with mutations in the ADCY5 gene, in order to expand and define…Pantotenate kinase associated neurodegeneration (PKAN): Proposal for a clinical rating scale
Objective: To design and validate a quantitative method for the assessment of PKAN patients. Background: Despite advances in the research of novel therapies for PKAN,…An update on genotype-phenotype correlation in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP/DYT3)
Objective: To further characterize the severity, movement abnormalities, and disease course in an expanded cohort of subjects and their families with XDP and determine if…Dystonia-deafness syndrome caused by beta -actin gene mutation and the effect of pallidal deep brain stimulation
Objective: To report on two patients with dystonia-deafness syndrome associated with a mutation in the beta actin gene and a positive effect of pallidal deep…DYT16/PRKRA founder mutation causes childhood-onset generalized dystonia in a family from southern Italy
Objective: To describe a family with three siblings affected by the combination of dystonia and parkinsonism, as a resulting phenotype of recessive PRKRA mutation. Background:…Novel THAP1 missense mutation leading to focal and segmental dystonia
Objective: We have identified a novel heterozygous missense mutation in THAP1 (DYT6 locus) in a patient suffering from craniocervical and upper limb dystonia. We describe…
