Detection of a new deleterious gene variant in Moroccan family with inherited myoclonus-dystonia.

Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) is a pleiotropic neuropsychiatric disorder with autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with variable severity and incomplete penetrance. Pathogenic variants in ξ-sarcoglycan gene SGCE are the most frequently known genetic cause of M-D with maternal imprinting, and in most cases, a symptomatic individual inherits the pathogenic variant from his or her father.
