title: Hereditary chin trembling or hereditary chin myoclonus?
abstract: Hereditary chin trembling is a rare autosomal dominant disease often considered as an "essential tremor variant". The clinical and neurophysiological data obtained in a new white family lead to the suggestion that this abnormal involuntary movement is a focal variant of hereditary essential myoclonus.
