Dissecting the Phenotypic Spectrum and Complexity of Movement Disorders in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome
In this study, we deeply phenotyped 31 unrelated adults with molecular confirmation of 22q11.2 microdeletion who were referred for neurologic assessments at a major centre of excellence in movement disorders. At the group level, majority (77%) presented with two or more movement disorder phenotypes, with similar trends in prevalence after accounting ...
