Children and adolescents with SGCE-associated myoclonus dystonia showed a progression of motor symptoms during a mean follow-up of 4 years. Patients developed a significant increase in the severity of axial and limb myoclonus, as well as dystonia during writing.

Negative community attitudes about disability affect confidence and self-perception, and hinder participation, in young adults with cerebral palsy (CP).
