A homozygous <i>loss‐of‐function</i> mutation in <i>PDE2A</i> associated to early‐onset hereditary chorea

Abstract

We identified a loss-of-function homozygous mutation in PDE2A associated to early-onset chorea. Our findings possibly strengthen the role of cyclic adenosine monophosphate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate metabolism in striatal medium spiny neurons as a crucial pathophysiological mechanism in hyperkinetic movement disorders. © 2018 The Authors.
