Abstract
Certain genetic aspects of the movement disorders, including parkinsonism, dystonia, ataxia, chorea, tics, and others, are reviewed. Clinical features, diagnostic techniques, and laboratory tests of newly recognized inherited syndromes are discussed. Progress in linkage analysis in several disorders is also presented.
