• Asymptomatic

  The patient became asymptomatic within 3 months. PKD is characterized by recurrent uni- or bilateral choreoathetosis and usually represents an autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by PRRT2 gene mutations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  His father, when young, had similar limb stiffness, while his mother and brother were asymptomatic. Genetic analysis revealed that the proband and his father harbored a PRRT2 c.649dupC mutation, and CLCN1 c.1723C>T and c.2492A>G mutations. [link.springer.com]

  The other three siblings of the proband were asymptomatic. Mutational analysis for PRRT2 gene Exons of PRRT2 were amplified using polymerase chain reaction, of which its conditions and primer sequences for PRRT2 are available upon request. [hkmj.org]

• Suggestibility

  This finding suggests that abnormal hyperactivity of thalamic neurons could be responsible for the pathophysiology of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia in this patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Psychiatric Symptoms

  Our case, however, was most likely idiopathic because all the investigations including psychiatric symptoms, neuroimaging, and EEG were unremarkable, except that she had a remote history of Graves' disease. [ruralneuropractice.com]

  Conclusion: This is the first report to describe psychiatric comorbidities or symptoms in a PKD case. [dovepress.com]

  BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to clarify the excitability profiles of the somatosensory cortices in patients with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Background: PKD is characterized by frequent, recurrent attacks of involuntary movement or posturing in response to sudden movement, stress, or excitement. Recently, an autosomal dominant PKD locus on chromosome 16 was identified. [neurology.org]

  Interictal myoclonus could be a manifestation of permanent overexcitability. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Myoclonus Myoclonus refers to muscular contractions (positive myoclonus) that are brief, sudden, and severe, and shock-like movements or inhibitions (negative myoclonus). Myoclonus could be generalized or isolated. [encyclopedia.com]

  Myoclonic dystonia, better known as DTY11 or myoclonus-dystonia, is characterized by rapid, involuntary, jerking movements (myoclonus) with or without sustained dystonic postures. Myoclonus most often affects the neck, trunk and upper arms. [rarediseases.org]
