DNAJC6 mutation causing cranial-onset dystonia with tremor dominant levodopa non-responsive parkinsonism: A novel phenotype
Ray S, Padmanabha H, Mahale R, Mailankody P, Arunachal G DNAJC6 mutation causes two types of phenotypes: slowly progressive parkinsonism with levodopa response and rapidly progressive parkinsonism with additional manifestations like intellectual disability, epilepsy etc. We report a new phenotype wherein an adolescent girl developed blepharospasm followed by jaw opening, lingual and cervical dystonia followed by tremors of limbs (rest and action) with rigidity, bradykinesia. The dystonia-parkinsonism phenotype has not been described. She had novel homozygous missense mutation in DNAJC6 gene.
