    Objectives To report a novel likely pathogenic variant in the SERAC1 gene associated with early adult-onset parkinsonism and progressive dystonia. Methods Clinical, biochemical, and imaging assessments were performed on 2 affected adult brothers with a genetically unsolved progressive neurologic disorder followed by whole-genome sequencing. Results A homozygous likely pathogenic variant in the…

    Background and Objectives Brain lesions are a well-recognized etiology of dystonia. These cases are especially valuable because they offer causal insight into the neuroanatomical substrates of dystonia. To date, knowledge of lesion-induced dystonia comes mainly from isolated case reports or small case series, restricting broader description and analysis. Methods Cases of lesion-induced dystonia…

    Background and Objectives Laryngeal dystonia (LD) is isolated task-specific focal dystonia selectively impairing speech production. The first choice of LD treatment is botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections into the affected laryngeal muscles. However, whether BoNT has a lasting therapeutic effect on disorder pathophysiology is unknown. We investigated short-term and long-term effects of BoNT…
