Many cases of myoclonus–dystonia (M‐D) are caused by mutations in the ϵ‐ sarcoglycan ( SGCE ) gene. We describe 3 children with a similar clinical picture of autosomal dominant M‐D and an SGCE mutation in only one of them, suggesting that M‐D is genetically heterogeneous. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society
