Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) enzyme is a rate limiting enzyme in dopamine biosynthesis. Missense mutation in both alleles of the __TH__ gene is known to cause dopamine-related phenotypes, including dystonia and infantile Parkinsonism. However, it is not clear if single allele mutation in __TH__ modifie

## Abstract Autosomal recessive forms of infantile dystonia due to mutations in the tyrosine hydroxylase (__TH__) gene have been described recently. The main clinical manifestations are Segawa's disease, or infantile hypokinetic rigid Parkinsonism. Here, we report on a patient with hyperrigidity, p
## Abstract ## Background Rats with experimental Parkinson's disease (PD) are treated with intravenous glialβderived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plasmid DNA, nonβviral gene therapy using Trojan horse liposomes (THLs) targeted with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) to the rat transferrin receptor (TfR). E
Recent interest has focused on the largest pedigree reported to date with histologically proven Lewy body parkinsonism with an autosomal-dominant mode of transmission.' It consisted of descendants of several immigrants to the United States linked to collateral Italian descendants by a common ancesto
