title: X-linked dystonia ("Lubag") presenting predominantly with parkinsonism: a more benign phenotype?
abstract: "Lubag," or Filipino X-linked dystonia, typically presents with either pure dystonia (that inexorably becomes generalized) or combined dystonia-parkinsonism. We report on three cases of Lubag presenting with isolated parkinsonism without dystonia or late-onset dystonia and a slower course.
