Abstract
We report the identification of a novel Y228C mutation within the M1 transβmembrane domain of the GLRA1 subunit of the glycine receptor responsible for a severe recessive hyperekplexia phenotype in a Kurdish pedigree. Β© 2007 Movement Disorder Society

## Abstract Hyperekplexia is commonly familial and with dominant transmission. The gene involved, __GLRA1,__ encodes the Ξ±1 subunit of the glycine receptor. We describe 3 affected children homozygous for a new mutation, R100H. Both parents were heterozygous carriers; while the father was healthy, t

We have detected a novel mitochondrial mutation in a maternal pedigree, at least 13 of whose members have sensorineural hearing loss of varying severity, but who exhibit no other pathological features. The mutation, at np 7445, converts the 3' terminal T residue of tRNA-ser(UCN) to a C, and also bri
