Dystonia, early-onset, and/or spastic paraplegia(DYTSPG)

MedGen UID:
1794261
Concept ID:
C5562051
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: DYSTONIA, EARLY-ONSET, AND/OR SPASTIC PARAPLEGIA; DYTSPG
 
Gene (location): ATP5MC3 (2q31.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0859215
OMIM®: 619681

Definition

Early-onset dystonia and/or spastic paraplegia (DYTSPG) is an autosomal dominant neurologic movement disorder characterized by phenotypic variability, even within the same family. Some patients have onset of progressive focal and generalized dystonia in the first decade, as young as infancy, whereas others develop progressive spastic paraplegia as adults, suggesting that age affects the phenotype. Some patients have manifestations of both disorders. Most patients have ambulation difficulties (Gilbert et al., 2009). Rare patients may show hypotonia and neurodevelopmental delay (Zech et al., 2022). [from OMIM]
