ABSTRACT
The paroxysmal dyskinesias are a diverse group of genetic disorders that manifest as episodic movements, with specific triggers, attack frequency, and duration. With recent advances in genetic sequencing, the number of genetic variants associated with paroxysmal dyskinesia has dramatically increased, and it is now evident that there is significant genotype-phenotype overlap, reduced (or incomplete) penetrance, and phenotypic variability. In addition, a variety of genetic conditions can present with paroxysmal dyskinesia as the initial symptom. This review will cover the 34 genes implicated to date and propose a diagnostic workflow featuring judicious use of whole-exome or -genome sequencing. The goal of this review is to provide a common understanding of paroxysmal dyskinesias so basic scientists, geneticists, and clinicians can collaborate effectively to provide diagnoses and treatments for patients.
