Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XLDP) is the prime example for this group of diseases, the other pertinent genes are mostly subsumed under dystonias, their mutated genes are mentioned below. XLDP is a movement disorder exclusively observed in people of Filipino descent. Parkinsonism is usually the first sign of the disease with tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, postural instability and a shuffling gait. Later in life, many affecteds individuals also develop dystonia typically starting in areas of the eyes, jaw or neck which later spread with disabling spasms. Generalized dystonia disturbs speaking, swallowing, coordination and walking. The symptoms of dystonia-parkinsonism (DP) vary widely. In severe cases the affecteds become dependent on others for care within a few years, and they may die prematurely from breathing difficulties, infections or other complications. TAF1 mutations cause XLDP. The gene is part of the complex TAF1/DYT3 multiple transcript system. This condition is inherited in an X-linked pattern. Genes to be considered In the differential diagnosis of DP include ATP1A3, GCH1, KCTD17, PRKRA, SPR, TH, C19orf12, PANK2, SLC30A10, SLC39A14, SLC6A3, TUBB4A, WDR45 and others. These DP disorders are inherited rarely in an XL pattern, more often in autosomal recessive or dominant patterns. Since the yield via molecular genetics reaches barely 90%, a negative DNA test result does not exclude the clinical diagnosis.
