Recently, the mutation causing early-onset generalized torsion dystonia has been identified as a GAG deletion in the gene for an adenosine triphosphate-binding protein named torsinA. We describe a German family with 5 clinically affected individuals carrying this mutation. In at least 4 of the 5 pat
Celiac disease (CD), which is one of the most important malabsorptive diseases in adults, has been associated with several neurological disorders including peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia, myopathy, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders. Recently, 2 independent studies 1,2 reported
## Abstract Since the advent of widespread testing for the presence of the DYT1 gene mutation, the range of phenotypes that have been associated with this genetic abnormality has expanded. We report on 5 DYT1 gene‐positive patients with unusual phenotypes. Two of them had late presentation, one of
## Abstract To investigate the clinical features of early‐onset primary torsion dystonia (EO‐PTD), 57 consecutive genetically characterized patients with onset before 21 years were studied. Sex, ethnic origin, family history of dystonia, age at onset, disease duration, site of dystonia onset and di
After a boy of Mexican-American descent became jaundiced during treatment of a serious urinary tract infection kwith an oxidant drug, an extensive hematological examination was made. The important finding was the presence of lib-Leiden to the extent of less than 3% or about a tenth of the usual perc
