Abstract excerpt
We studied the presynaptic nigrostriatal dopaminergic function using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of a 99mTc-TRODAT-1 (TRODAT) scan in a dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) family with the guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH-1) gene mutation. Clinically, there was presentation of intrafamilial variability in the DRD family. The index patient was a 10-year-old girl with classic...
