Myoclonus-dystonia: clinical and genetic evaluation of a large cohort

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) is an autosomal dominant inherited movement disorder. Various mutations within the epsilon-sarcoglycan (SGCE) gene have been associated with M-D, but mutations are detected in only about 30% of patients. The lack of stringent clinical inclusion criteria and limitations of mutation screens by direct sequencing might explain this observation. METHODS: Eighty-six M-D index...
