A family with hereditary non-Huntington's chorea is presented. Transmission was autosomal dominant with variable penetrance. Chorea commenced in childhood and affected predominantly the head, face and upper limbs. Dysarthria appeared later, followed in two family members by elements of an axial dystonia. There was no intellectual impairment. Unlike previously described families, symptoms progressed steadily up to the eighth decade, causing considerable physical disability.
本文报告了一个患有遗传性非亨廷顿舞蹈症的家族。其遗传方式为常染色体显性遗传,外显率可变。舞蹈症始于童年,主要影响头部、面部和上肢。构音障碍随后出现,两名家族成员继而出现轴性肌张力障碍的症状。没有智力障碍。与之前描述的家族不同,症状一直稳步发展至八十岁,导致严重的身体残疾。
