Methods. Consecutive patients with ET who presented to a tertiary referral center and
examined by a movement disorder neurologist were recruited. Controls were of similar …

OBJECTIVES: Analyze the distribution of polymorphism in the dopamine receptor D3
(DRD3) gene, which was previously reported as a susceptibility risk for essential tremor …

This is a comment on" DRD3 Ser9Gly variant is not associated with essential tremor in a
series of Italian patients." Eur J Neurol. 2008 Sep; 15 (9): 985-7. This is a comment on" Case …

Results We genotyped the DRD3 Ser9Gly polymorphism in affected and non-affected
members of the families. The G allele cosegregated with ET in the 23 of 30 families (Fig. 1) …

Background/Objective: Despite many data suggesting a role of genetic factors in the risk for
essential tremor (ET), the responsible genes have not been identified. We analyzed in ET …

Background: Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder worldwide.
Three susceptibility loci on chromosomes 3q13, 2p24. 1, and 6p23 have been reported, but …

Background: Essential tremor (ET) is the most prevalent inherited movement disorder. ET
has been mapped on chromosomes 2 and 3, but causative genes are not known. Methods …

To elucidate a widely suspected but inconclusive association between rs6280 in the
dopamine receptor 3 gene (DRD3) and prevalence of tardive dyskinesia (TD), we conducted …

Familial essential tremor (ET), the most common inherited movement disorder, is generally
transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. A genome-wide scan for ET revealed one major …

Objective: To test the hypothesis that adult-onset primary dystonia may be the underlying
etiology of tremulous patients with clinical diagnosis of Parkinson disease (PD) but without …
