Gender-related penetrance and de novo GTP-cyclohydrolase I gene mutations in dopa-responsive dystonia
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
We evaluated the influence of gender on penetrance of GTP-cyclohydrolase I (GCH) gene mutations in hereditary progressive dystonia/dopa-responsive dystonia (HPD/DRD) and determined whether some apparently sporadic HPD/DRD patients owe their disorder to a de novo mutation of the GCH gene. Previous clinical investigations of HPD/DRD have shown a predominance of affected women, with approximately half of HPD/DRD...
