Successful Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation in a Patient with Childhood-Onset Generalized Dystonia with ANO3 Mutation

Dystonia 24 (DYT24) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by ANO3 mutation encoding anoctamin 3 that is predominantly characterized as adult-onset craniocervical dystonia; DYT24 is frequently combined with tremor or myoclonus [1]. We recently reported a patient with the pathogenic variant of ANO3 ...

More Information
Summary:Dystonia 24 (DYT24) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by ANO3 mutation encoding anoctamin 3 that is predominantly characterized as adult-onset craniocervical dystonia; DYT24 is frequently combined with tremor or myoclonus [1]. We recently reported a patient with the pathogenic variant of ANO3 (p.Ser651Asn) who presented with early onset generalized dystonia starting in the lower extremities at age 3 with the broadening phenotypic spectrum of DYT24 [2]. Here, we further report that the patient exhibited an excellent response to deep brain stimulation (DBS) at the internal globus pallidus (GPi). KCI Citation Count: 3
