dihydroxyphenylalanine and Myoclonic Jerk

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Myoclonic Jerk in 15 studies

Dihydroxyphenylalanine: A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.
dopa : A hydroxyphenylalanine carrying hydroxy substituents at positions 3 and 4 of the benzene ring.

"Two subjects presented with action tremor around age 10-12 years and developed tremor-dominant parkinsonism with prominent neuropsychiatric features later in their 20s."1.72WARS2 mutations cause dopa-responsive early-onset parkinsonism and progressive myoclonus ataxia. ( Berutti, R; Bonifati, V; Boumeester, V; Brunet, T; Gdovinova, Z; Han, V; Havrankova, P; Houlden, H; Jech, R; Kaiyrzhanov, R; Kuipers, DJS; Kulcsarova, K; Lackova, A; Mandemakers, W; Orec, L; Ostrozovicova, M; Pavelekova, P; Plecko, B; Rektorova, I; Rizig, M; Skorvanek, M; Steinfeld, R; Tijssen, MAJ; Wagner, M; Winkelmann, J; Zech, M, 2022)
"Children with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) usually respond to corticotropin (adrenocorticotrophic hormone, ACTH) treatment but the mechanism of benefit is unknown."1.30Monoaminergic effects of high-dose corticotropin in corticotropin-responsive pediatric opsoclonus-myoclonus. ( Goldstein, DS; Goldstein, EM; Holmes, CS; Huang, YY; Ketner, K; Kinast, M; Lange, BM; Pranzatelli, MR; Sanz, A; Shevell, MI; Stanford, RE; Taff, IP; Tate, E, 1998)
