Summary
This study aims to identify people with rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP) or related ATP1A3 gene mutations, and to document how common the disease is and how it progresses over time. Researchers will assess symptom severity and also look for associated psychiatric or cognitive issues. The goal is to better understand the condition, not to test a new treatment.
