This disorder typically presents with gait disturbance caused by foot dystonia, later development of parkinsonism, and diurnal fluctuation of symptoms (aggravation of symptoms toward the evening and alleviation of symptoms in the morning after sleep). Initial symptoms are often gait difficulties attributable to flexion-inversion (equinovarus posture) of the foot. Occasionally, initial symptoms are arm dystonia, postural tremor of the hand, or slowness of movements. Brisk deep-tendon reflexes in the legs, ankle clonus, and/or the striatal toe (dystonic extension of the big toe) are present in many affected individuals. In general, gradual progression to generalized dystonia is observed. Intellectual, cerebellar, sensory, and autonomic disturbances generally do not occur.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of GTPCH1-deficient DRD is established in a proband by identification of a heterozygous pathogenic variant in <i>GCH1</i> by molecular genetic testing. In individuals with a suspected diagnosis of GTPCH1-deficient DRD and no identifiable <i>GCH1</i> pathogenic variants, biochemical testing may be necessary.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Initial suggested dose of levodopa/decarboxylase inhibitor (DCI):</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Children age &#x0003c;6 years: 1-10 mg/kg levodopa/DCI daily, administered in multiple doses</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Children age &#x02265;6 years: 25-50 mg levodopa/DCI 1-3x daily</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Adults: 50 mg levodopa/DCI 1-3x daily</div></li></ul><p>For all, dose should be changed slowly and by small increments as needed. Motor benefit occurs immediately or within a few days of starting levodopa; full benefit occurs within several days to a few months. Maximum benefit (complete or near-complete responsiveness of symptoms) is generally achieved by &#x0003c;300-400 mg/day of levodopa/DCI. Although dyskinesias may appear at the beginning of levodopa therapy, they subside following dose reduction and do not reappear when the dose is gradually increased. Typically, adverse motor effects of chronic levodopa therapy (motor response fluctuations and dopa-induced dyskinesias) do not occur.</p><p><i>Prevention of secondary complications:</i> Early diagnosis and therapy (with low doses of levodopa) may prevent transient dyskinesias at initiation of levodopa treatment.</p><p><i>Surveillance</i>: Examination by a movement disorder specialist at least several times yearly is recommended.</p><p><i>Agents/circumstances to avoid:</i> Discontinuation of levodopa treatment.</p><p><i>Evaluation of relatives at risk:</i> It is appropriate to clarify the genetic status of apparently asymptomatic older and younger at-risk relatives of an affected individual in order to identify as early as possible those who would benefit from prompt initiation of treatment. Molecular genetic testing cannot be used to predict the occurrence of symptoms, age of onset, severity and type of symptoms, or rate of disease progression in family members who are heterozygous for a <i>GCH1</i> pathogenic variant.</p><p><i>Pregnancy management:</i> Levodopa therapy is continued during pregnancy without adverse effect in most.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p>GTPCH1-deficient DRD is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Affected individuals often have an affected parent with typical GTPCH1-deficient DRD or adult-onset parkinsonism caused by a <i>GCH1</i> pathogenic variant. A proband with GTPCH1-deficient DRD may have the disorder as the result of a <i>de novo</i> pathogenic variant. Every child of an individual with autosomal dominant GTPCH1-deficient DRD has a 50% chance of inheriting the pathogenic variant. However, because of sex-related incomplete penetrance (i.e., higher penetrance in women than in men), it is not possible to predict whether offspring with a <i>GCH1</i> pathogenic variant will develop symptoms.</p></div></div><div id="drd.Diagnosis"><h2 id="_drd_Diagnosis_">Diagnosis</h2><div id="drd.Suggestive_Findings"><h3>Suggestive Findings</h3><p>GTP cyclohydrolase 1-deficient dopa-responsive dystonia (GTPCH1-deficient DRD) <b>should be suspected</b> in individuals with the following characteristics [<a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.nygaard.a">Nygaard et al 1993a</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.segawa.1993">Segawa &#x00026; Nomura 1993</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.furukawa.2004.127">Furukawa 2004</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.trendergerhard.2009.839">Trender-Gerhard et al 2009</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.furukawa.2013">Furukawa et al 2013</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.wijemanne.2015.414">Wijemanne &#x00026; Jankovic 2015</a>]:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Onset typically in childhood following normal early motor development</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Onset of dystonia in a limb, typically foot dystonia (equinovarus posture) resulting in gait disturbance</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Later development of parkinsonism (tremor is mainly postural)</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Presence of brisk deep-tendon reflexes in the legs, ankle clonus, and/or striatal toe (dystonic extension of the big toe, which may be misinterpreted as a Babinski response) in many individuals</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>In general, normal intellectual and cognitive function and absence of cerebellar, sensory, and autonomic disturbances</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Diurnal fluctuation (aggravation of symptoms toward the evening and alleviation of symptoms in the morning after sleep).

The perinatal and postnatal periods are normal, as is early motor development.</p><p><b>Symptoms and signs.</b> Initial symptoms in most individuals with childhood-onset GTPCH1-deficient DRD are gait difficulties attributable to dystonia in the legs, typically flexion-inversion (equinovarus posture) of the foot. Affected individuals have a tendency to fall. A relatively small number of individuals have onset with arm dystonia, postural tremor of the hand, or slowness of movements. Standing position with equinovarus posture of the feet can induce increased lumbar lordosis.</p><p>A variable degree of rigidity and slowness of movements are recognized in the affected limbs. Tremor is usually postural, especially in the early course of illness. Rapid fatiguing of effort with repetitive motor tasks (e.g., finger tapping or foot tapping) is often observed.</p><p>Some clinical findings suggestive of pyramidal signs in the lower extremities (brisk deep-tendon reflexes, spasticity, ankle clonus, and/or intermittent extensor plantar responses) are detected in many affected individuals. However, normal efferent cortical spinal activity with magneto-electrical stimulation of the motor cortex suggests a non-pyramidal basis for these findings. In fact, after starting levodopa therapy, severe hyperreflexia and spasticity resolve and an extensor plantar response often disappears in individuals with GTPCH1-deficient DRD. Dystonic extension of the big toe (the striatal toe) may be misinterpreted as an extensor plantar response.</p><p>In general, intellectual and cognitive function is normal and there is no evidence of cerebellar, sensory, and autonomic disturbances in individuals with GTPCH1-deficient DRD.</p><p><b>Diurnal fluctuation</b> (aggravation of symptoms toward the evening and alleviation of symptoms in the morning after sleep) is characteristic [<a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.segawa.1976.215">Segawa et al 1976</a>]. The degree of fluctuation is variable, with some individuals being normal in the morning and others being only less severely affected in the morning compared to later in the day. Some individuals demonstrate only exercise-induced exacerbation or manifestation of dystonia. Diurnal fluctuation often attenuates with age and disease progression.</p><p><b>Progression of symptoms.</b> In general, gradual progression to generalized dystonia occurs in individuals with childhood-onset GTPCH1-deficient DRD. Typically, dystonia remains more pronounced in the legs throughout the disease course.</p><p>Symptoms in individuals with adolescent onset are usually milder than in those with childhood onset and disease progression is slower.

<i>GCH1</i> is composed of six exons spanning approximately 30 kilobases [<a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.ichinose.1995.10062">Ichinose et al 1995</a>]. There are three cDNA transcript variants with different 3'-ends as a result of alternative splicing; only type 1 cDNA (having the longest coding region) gives rise to the active enzyme. A full-length cDNA clone encoding human GTPCH1 type 1 <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_000161.2" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NM_000161.2</a> from a pheochromocytoma consists of 2,941 base pairs including a poly(A) tail.

<i>GCH1</i> encodes GTPCH1 (GTP cyclohydrolase I; EC 3.5.4.16), a 250-amino acid enzyme (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/NP_000152.1" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NP_000152.1</a>). The enzyme GTPCH1 catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH<sub>4</sub>), the essential cofactor for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), and phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH).</p><p><b>Abnormal gene product.</b> GTPCH1-deficient DRD is caused by a dominantly inherited pathogenic variant in <i>GCH1</i>, resulting in decreased GTPCH1 activity and reduced BH<sub>4</sub> biosynthesis. However, this reduction in BH<sub>4</sub> biosynthesis does not result in hyperphenylalaninemia and individuals with GTPCH1-deficient DRD seldom develop overt symptoms relating to a deficit in serotonin [<a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.antelmi.2015.347">Antelmi et al 2015</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.furukawa.2016.1060">Furukawa et al 2016</a>]. The different susceptibility to BH<sub>4</sub> depletion among the aromatic amino acid hydroxylases may be explained by differences in Km values of these hydroxylases for BH<sub>4</sub>, different <i>GCH1</i> expression levels in various tissues and neurons, and differences in the degree of regulatory effects of BH<sub>4</sub> on stability/expression of TH, TPH, and PAH [<a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.furukawa.1999.709">Furukawa &#x00026; Kish 1999</a>].</p><p>Human and animal data indicate that striatal dopamine reduction in GTPCH1-deficient DRD is caused not only by decreased TH activity resulting from low biopterin content but also by actual loss of TH protein without nerve terminal loss [<a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.furukawa.1999.1032">Furukawa et al 1999</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.sumiichinose.2001.41150">Sumi-Ichinose et al 2001</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#drd.REF.rose.2017.1694">Rose et al 2017</a>].
