DYSTONIA 28, CHILDHOOD-ONSET; DYT28

Description

Dystonia-28 is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by onset of progressive dystonia in the first decade of life. Dystonia typically begins focally in the lower limbs, resulting in gait difficulties, with later progression to other body regions, including the upper limbs, neck, and orofacial region. The severity is variable, and some patients may become wheelchair-bound. Many patients also have an elongated face with bulbous nose, and some have abnormal eye movements. About half of patients show delayed motor and/or cognitive development with mild intellectual disability (summary by Zech et al., 2016 and Meyer et al., 2017).

Most common symptoms of DYSTONIA 28, CHILDHOOD-ONSET; DYT28

  • Intellectual disability
  • Global developmental delay
  • Short stature
  • Microcephaly
  • Growth delay
