To date, there are few reports of paroxysmal exercise‐induced dystonia associated with familial epilepsy. We describe a family with 4 affected members spanning 3 generations, suggestive of autosomal‐dominant inheritance, who exhibited typical exercise‐induced dystonia, different types of epilepsy (absence and primary generalized seizures), developmental delay, and migraine in variable combinations. Linkage of the disease to loci on chromosome 2 (paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia) and chromosome 16 (paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis, infantile convulsions with choreoathetosis) was excluded, suggesting an as yet unidentified underlying genetic basis. © 2007 Movement Disorder Society
