Percent ET or ET-plus cases in final sample meeting each criterion
See text for detailed definitions of criteria for identification of impaired tandem gait, impaired memory (i.e., impaired cognition), questionable dystonic posturing, and mild neurologic signs of unknown significance.
Including both questionable dystonic posturing and mild dystonia.
No probands with mild dystonia were enrolled; thus, all ET-plus cases with mild dystonia were family members.
ET-plus cases meeting criteria for intention tremor, rest tremor, or both.
