PRRT2-associated paroxysmal movement disorder
MONDO:0100556A group of rare movement and seizure disorders caused by changes (disease-causing variants or mutations) in the PRRT2 gene. They include a spectrum of specific disorders including paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD), benign familial infantile epilepsy (BFIE), paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia with infantile convulsions (PKD/IC) and hemiplegic migraine (HM). In addition, PRRT2 pathogenic variants have been identified in other childhood-onset movement disorders and different types of seizure conditions, such as paroxysmal torticollis, episodic ataxia and familial paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia. It’s important to note that these disorders can also have different genetic causes.

Brain scan study reveals clues in rare movement disorders
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at how two brain regions—the cerebellum and striatum—communicate in people with dystonia caused by ADCY5 or PRRT2 gene mutations. Researchers used MRI scans and mild brain stimulation to compare brain activity among patients and healthy volunteers. The goal was …

Wrist-Worn gadget could help doctors monitor Parkinson's at home
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tested a wrist-worn device called the Personal KinetiGraph (PKG) to see if it can accurately measure movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Nineteen participants wore the device while researchers compared its readings to standard clinical tests and video…
