This book covers recent developments and possible pitfalls in the
diagnosis of genetic movement disorders and related conditions. It is
divided into three sections: technical and scientific aspects;
clinical aspects with guidance towards work-up; and ethical and legal
aspects of genetic testing in a clinical and research setting. The
first section includes chapters on genetic analysis and counselling
with critical discussion of potential problems when interpreting the
results. Clinical chapters summarize genetic forms of movement
disorders including parkinsonism, tics and dystonia with algorithms
for hands-on daily practice. Related conditions such as RLS, ataxias
and dementias are also covered. Finally, chapters on ethical and legal
aspects of genetic testing are included. Movement Disorder Genetics is
aimed at clinicians and scientists working in the field of movement
disorders and related conditions.
