Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dopa-responsive Dystonia (DRD) due to GTP cyclohydrolase 1 (GTPCH1) deficiency is a neurogenetic disorder caused by pathogenic GCH1 variants. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiency impairs dopamine synthesis in the basal ganglia, leading to childhood-onset dystonia with excellent response to levodopa. CASE PRESENTATION: We report eight patients from three unrelated families with GCH1 (NM_000161.3)...
