Use

This panel evaluates individuals with combined features of dystonia and parkinsonism, which may be genetic or acquired in origin. It is used to aid diagnosis in patients presenting with movement disorder phenotypes, where both dystonia (characterized by patterned or twisting movements and postures) and parkinsonism (manifesting as resting tremor, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability) are observed. The panel supports differential diagnostic work-up and potential therapeutic guidance based on identification of responsible genetic causes.
