Benign hereditary chorea related to NKX2-1 with ataxia and dystonia
Benign hereditary chorea (BHC) was originally described in 1967, but it was not until 2002 that linkage analysis and positional cloning identified the causative gene, NKX2-1 (also known as TTF-1).(1,2) The range of manifestations spans from isolated chorea, pulmonary disease, or thyroid dysfunction, with one-third of patients having the full brain-lung-thyroid syndrome.(3) Recent reports have e...
متن کاملBenign Hereditary Chorea: An Update
Benign hereditary chorea (BHC) is a childhood-onset, hyperkinetic movement disorder normally with little progression of motor symptoms into adult life. The disorder is caused by mutations to the NKX2.1 (TITF1) gene and also forms part of the "brain-lung-thyroid syndrome", in which additional developmental abnormalities of lung and thyroid tissue are observed. In this review, we summarize the ma...
متن کاملADCY5 Mutations and Benign Hereditary Chorea
Investigators from the Institute of Neurology, London, UK, and centers in Italy, Germany, and Greece, studied 18 unrelated cases of benign hereditary chorea BHC (7 familial, 11 sporadic) who were negative for NKX2-1 mutations.
متن کاملMutations in TITF-1 are associated with benign hereditary chorea.
Benign hereditary chorea (BHC) (MIM 118700) is an autosomal dominant movement disorder. The early onset of symptoms (usually before the age of 5 years) and the observation that in some BHC families the symptoms tend to decrease in adulthood suggests that the disorder results from a developmental disturbance of the brain. In contrast to Huntington disease (MIM 143100), BHC is non-progressive and...
متن کاملBenign hereditary chorea of early onset maps to chromosome 14q.
Benign hereditary chorea (BHC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by an early-onset nonprogressive chorea. The early onset and the benign course distinguishes BHC from the more common Huntington disease (HD). Previous studies on families with BHC have shown that BHC and HD are not allelic. We studied a large Dutch kindred with BHC and obtained strong evidence for linkage between th...
