Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia (PKD) is an episodic involuntary movement disorder characterized by recurrent and brief involuntary movements. Proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 (PRRT2) has been identified as the causative gene for PKD, Benign familial infantile convulsions (BFIC) and Infantile convulsions with choreoathetosis (ICCA). As well, PRRT2 mutations have been detected in...
