Myoclonus-dystonia syndrome, alcohol responsive (2)

Three members of a family with alcohol-responsive, myoclonus-dystonia (DYT11) with a mutation in the epsilon-sarcoglycan (SGCE) gene on chromosome 7q (Cazurro-Gutiérrez A, Marcé-Grau A, Correa-Vela M, et al. ε-Sarcoglycan: unraveling the myoclonus-dystonia gene. Mol Neurobiol 2021;58(8):3938-52). All 3 demonstrate the combination of myoclonus and dystonia, the latter chiefly manifested by dystonic writer’s cramp. (Contributed by Dr. Joseph Jankovic.)
