Pediatric Movement Disorders of Unknown Etiology in Vietnam (VPeMD)

Sponsor: University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City

Summary

This observational patient registry aims to describe the clinical phenotypes and genetic findings of Vietnamese children with movement disorders of unknown etiology. Eligible participants are children with clinically confirmed movement disorders after evaluation by pediatric neurology specialists and after exclusion of clear acquired causes. The study will collect clinical data, neurological examination findings, available laboratory and imaging results, and video recordings of abnormal movements when consent is provided. Blood samples will be collected for whole-exome sequencing and related genetic analysis. Genetic variants will be classified according to accepted clinical genetics standards and compared with the patients' clinical phenotypes. The study is expected to improve understanding of the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of pediatric movement disorders in Vietnam, support genetic counseling, and evaluate how genetic results may influence diagnosis, follow-up, prognosis, and treatment planning.
