Abstract

Myoclonus Dystonia is a childhood-onset, hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by upper body predominant myoclonus and dystonia. A proportion of cases are caused by autosomal dominantly inherited mutations to the epsilon-sarcoglycan gene (SGCE), located on the long-arm of chromosome 7 (7q21).
