“…The X chromosome-linked dystonia-parkinsonism syndrome (XDP) is a severe movement disorder most likely caused by a malfunction of the basal ganglia (1)(2)(3). XDP is characterized by dystonia-i.e., "involuntary, sustained muscle contractions resulting in twisting and repetitive movements, or abnormal postures" (4), and concurrent parkinsonian symptoms in a significant percentage of patients (2,5).…”

“…XDP is characterized by dystonia-i.e., "involuntary, sustained muscle contractions resulting in twisting and repetitive movements, or abnormal postures" (4), and concurrent parkinsonian symptoms in a significant percentage of patients (2,5). The mean age of onset of XDP is 35 ± 8 years (range, 12-50 years) with an age-dependent penetrance apparently complete by the end of the 5th decade (2). The prevalence of XDP is highest in the Philippine island of Panay, where it probably originated from a single mutation (founder effect).…”
