The Epilepsy-Dyskinesia Study aims to advance the understanding of the clinical and molecular spectrum of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes, monogenic diseases that cause both movement disorders and epilepsy. Addressing challenges in rare disease research -such as small, geographically dispersed patient populations and a lack of standardized protocols- the study employs a multinational retrospective survey endorsed by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. This survey seeks to collect comprehensive data on clinical features, disease progression, age of onset, genetic variants, and concurrent neurological conditions, standardizing data collection across countries to provide a unified understanding of these conditions. Through retrospective review and molecular data analysis, the study aims to identify patterns and correlations between movement and seizure disorders, uncovering genotype-phenotype relationships. The initiative\'s goals are to enhance understanding of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes, inform precision medicine approaches, and foster international collaboration.
None
Not having such diagnosis and/or not presenting a movement disorder.
This study will enroll individuals diagnosed with a movement disorder due to pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in the genes listed below. We plan to enroll at least 350 individuals over a 24-month period.

Creation of a Shared Clinical Database
The primary endpoint of this multi-center study will be the creation of the Epilepsy-Dyskinesia Study and the enrollment of 350 individuals in a shared database.
Understanding of Disease Spectrum
To comprehensively understand the spectrum and association of movement and seizure disorders on both clinical and molecular levels.
Assess the Impact of Movement Disorders on Health-Related Quality of Life
To assess the impact of movement disorders on health-related quality of life specifically within the context of epilepsy-dyskinesia syndromes.
Investigate the Efficacy of Symptomatic Treatments
Investigate the efficacy of symptomatic treatments in addressing both seizure and movement disorders, aiming to identify shared therapeutic strategies.
