Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in dopa decarboxylase (DDC), the gene encoding the aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) enzyme, lead to a severe deficiency of neurotransmitters, resulting in neurological, neuromuscular, and behavioral manifestations clinically characterized by developmental delays, oculogyric crises, dystonia, and severe neurologic dysfunction in infancy. Historically, therapy has been aimed at...
