Description : Myoclonus-dystonia is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by myoclonic
jerks affecting mostly proximal muscles. Dystonia, usually torticollis or writer's
cramp, is observed in most patients, but occasionally can be the only symptom of the
disorder. Onset of the disorder is usually in the first or second decade. Symptoms
often respond to alcohol, and patients can also have psychiatric abnormalities (Valente
et al., 2003; Schule et al., 2004). See also HETEROGENEITY below for other forms of
the disorder that do not map to 7q21, including DYT15 (607488), which maps to 18p11.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the epsilon-sarcoglycan gene (SGCE, 604149.0001);
