Name Childhood-Onset Chorea with Bilateral Striatal Lesions
Corresponding gene PDE10A
Main clinical features
  • in childhood (mean age of 3 months), axial hypotonia and generalized hyperkinetic movement disorder, dyskinesia of the limbs and trunk; the hyperkinetic movements had a jerky quality, and intermittent chorea and ballismus were also present; facial involvement was evident with orolingual dyskinesia, drooling, and dysarthria
  • mild cognitive delay and severe axial hypotonia
  • characteristic brain MRI showing symmetrical bilateral striatal lesions
  • Genetic determination not applicable
    Function/system disorder neurology
    Type disease
    Remark(s) . biallelic PDE10A mutations results in striatal dysfunction, leading to a hyperkinetic movement disorder (PMID: 27058446))
