Mutation analysis of the sodium/hydrogen exchanger gene (NHE5) in familial paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia.

Abstract excerpt

Familial Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia (PKD) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by attacks of dystonia or chorea triggered by sudden movements. Recently two separate loci for PKD, Episodic Kinesigenic Dyskinesia 1 (EKD1) and Episodic Kinesigenic Dyskinesia 2 (EKD2), have been mapped to chromosome 16 but the causative genes have not been identified. The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger gene (NHE5) involved...
