General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Certain hereditary movement disorders include
- Dyskinesia
- Dystonia
- Tics
- Others

However, a thorough pedigree evaluation of family to identify the pattern of inheritance as well as necessary lab tests, chromosome analysis with or without muscle biopsy are best measures.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
