This hypothesis has been tested using a cDNA tyrosine hydroxylase gene probe in three families with this disorder. No evidence for genetic linkage between the disease and tyrosine hydroxylase loci was found; it is possible that the disorder results from a p...

متن کاملResponse to levodopa treatment in dopa-responsive dystonia.
BACKGROUND Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is similar to Parkinson disease in that both disorders have impaired dopamine synthesis and respond to levodopa treatment. Dopa-responsive dystonia differs in that dopamine storage is intact in contrast to Parkinson disease in which it is markedly reduced. OBJECTIVE To examine the short- and long-duration responses to levodopa dosing in subjects with ...
