Genetics of movement disorders.
The MDSGene website contains a directory of currently well-established movement disorders of genetic origin.
Massive sequencing techniques.
Under the concept of massive sequencing or NGS (next generation sequencing) there are multiple highly complex diagnostic techniques that have significantly increased the diagnostic possibilities in pediatric neurology. We can classify them based on several criteria. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-13-8844-6_15

Double trouble. Several genetic diseases in the same individual.
In the era of massive sequencing, access to the intensive study of the genome has provided a much deeper understanding of genetic variability, and how this can give rise to complex phenotypes from the combination of several monogenetic diseases in the same individual. It is estimated that in approximately 5% of …
