Note
A hereditary condition with autosomal dominant inheritance that is characterized by symmetric calcinosis in the basal ganglia and other brain regions. Patients can either be asymptomatic or show a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms that include PARKINSONISM; DYSTONIA; TREMOR; ATAXIA; DEMENTIA; PSYCHOSIS; SEIZURES and CHRONIC HEADACHE. Serum levels of CALCIUM; PHOSPHATE; ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE and PARATHYROID HORMONE are normal. Onset is typically between 30 and 50 years of age.
