Brain study for movement disorder with PRRT2 gene change
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses brain scans to understand movement problems in people with a specific genetic change (PRRT2) that causes sudden, brief episodes of uncontrolled movements. It may help researchers find better ways to treat this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a movement disorder called paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (sudden, brief episodes of uncontrolled movements) caused by a change in the PRRT2 gene.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are able to control these movement episodes during the study.
- You live in France and have health insurance.
- You do not have any metal in your body that would make an MRI unsafe (for example, pacemaker, metal clips, or certain implants).

This study follows people with Parkinson’s disease, certain Parkinson-like conditions, and some people at higher risk. It helps researchers learn how these illnesses start and progress, which may lead to better earlier detection and care.
This study looks for biological “markers” (measurable signs in the body) in people with inherited movement disorders, and in some related family members or healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand these conditions, especially for future diagnosis and care.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
This research study uses advanced MRI brain imaging to understand how a specific gene mutation (LRRK2) affects certain brain chemicals in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to learn more about how this genetic form of Parkinson's works, which could help develop better treatments.
This study looks at brain activity in people with movement disorders like Parkinson's, dystonia, tremor, and ataxia. It aims to better understand how parts of the brain work together, which could lead to better treatments.
This research study helps scientists understand how genes and family traits connect to movement disorders like Parkinson's disease or tremor. You may be asked to answer questions about your symptoms, provide family history, and possibly have an MRI scan to help researchers learn more about these conditions.
