Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of hyperkinetic movements. PKD can be isolated or associated with benign infantile seizures as part of the infantile convulsions with choreoathetosis (ICCA) syndrome. Mutations in the PRRT2 gene were recently identified in patients with PKD and ICCA. We studied the prevalence of PRRT2 mutations and characteristics of the patients in a European population of patients with PKD and ICCA.
