title: Molecular genetics, basal ganglia disorders, and the clinical neurologist.
abstract: The emphasis of this article is on gene mapping, clinical neurogenetics, genetic factors in common disease, and classification of the hereditary disorders of the basal ganglia. This was influenced by the recent assignment for the Huntington's disease gene to chromosomes 4 by Gusella, Wexler, and Conneally and the fact that several comprehensive reviews of the genetics of basal ganglial disease have recently been published.
