摘要
Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) is an autosomal dominantly inherited movement disorder with myoclonic jerks and dystonic contractions most frequently due to a mutation in the epsilon-sarcoglycan (SGCE, DYT11) gene. We describe two unrelated children with M-D (DYT11) who presented with writer's cramp. Due to maternal imprinting the family history appeared initially negative for M-D. In children with writer's cramp screening of the SGCE gene should be considered, even with a negative family history. (C) 2008 European Paediatric Neurology Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
