We have studied the GTP-cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH-1) gene in 30 patients with the diagnosis of clinically definite (n = 20) or possible (n = 10) dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) as well as in a child with atypical phenylketonuria due to complete GCH-1 deficiency. A large number of new heterozygote mutations (seven point mutations, two splice site mutations, and one deletion) as well as a new homozygote mutation in the...
