Family tree and dopamine transporter imaging. (A) Squares and circles denote males and females, respectively. Black symbols indicate individuals with childhood-onset dystonia and excellent levodopa response. The arrow indicates the proband. (B) Transversal 123I-FP-CIT SPECT images acquired in Case III-1 at the age of 37 years and Case II-2 at the age of 60 years. The colour scale indicates relative radioactivity uptake (0–100%).
