Abstract excerpt
Hereditary progressive dystonia with marked diurnal fluctuation (HPD; dopa-responsive dystonia, DRD) have been recently found to be caused by a genetic defect in the GTP cyclohydrolase I (GCH1) gene. In this study, we quantified the mRNA level of GCH1 in phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated mononuclear blood cells from one Japanese family that do not have a mutation in the coding region or splice junctions of the...
