Background: Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) controls body movements by regulating cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling in the basal ganglia. Two classes of PDE10A variants are reported with distinctive genotype-phenotype correlation. The autosomal recessive mutations in the GAF-A and catalytic domains are associated with compromised membrane localization, and manifest with infantile onset chorea, developmental, and cognition delay with normal brain MRI.

Background: Tremor is one of the most prevalent symptoms in Parkinson's Disease (PD). The progression and management of tremor in PD can be challenging, as response to dopaminergic agents might be relatively poor, particularly in patients with tremor-dominant PD compared to the akinetic/rigid subtype. In this review, we aim to highlight recent advances in the underlying pathogenesis and treatment modalities for tremor in PD.

Background: Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome (WSS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease with characteristic neuro-endocrine manifestations. WSS encompasses heterogeneous phenotypes and disease course.
Objective: We aimed to characterize neurological involvement of the disease through subgrouping of core neurological manifestations.
