‘What's in a Name?’ Naming Genetically Determined Movement Disorders: Gap and Controversy
Abstract In 2016, the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) Task Force for Genetic Nomenclature in Movement Disorders laid out a new proposal for naming genetically determined movement disorders. This proposal sought to address the difficulties arising from the practical usage of numbered loci (eg, DYT1, DYT2, DYT3, etc.) as names
