Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Hereditary progressive dystonia with pronounced diurnal fluctuation [(HPD)/dopa responsive dystonia (DRD)] is a childhood onset dystonia which responds to levodopa. Various clinical signs and symptoms of HPD/DRD have been recognised to date. Mutations in the GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTP-CH-I) gene were recently identified as the cause of HPD/ DRD. In the present study, the GTP-CH-I gene and the clinical...
