Mutations in 5 genes have been shown to cause dopamine-responsive dystonia. The precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine, L-dopa, is synthesised from tyrosine by the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase and utilises tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) as a cofactor. A mutation in the gene GCH1, which encodes the enzyme GTP cyclohydrolase I, disrupts the manufacturing of BH4, decreasing dopamine levels […]
