Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and gene mutation in a patient clinically diagnosed as dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) without family history.Methods The clinical characteristics of a patient clinically diagnosed as DRD without family history were collected and molecular and bioinformatic analyses were performed.Results The patient demonstrated as type A tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency and a compound heterozygous mutation of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene was found,including a known nonsense mutation,c.457C>T and a novel missense mutation,c.734G>T that was probably pathologically predicted by bioinformatic analysis.Conclusion c.734G>T may be a novel pathological mutation of TH gene.
