We report on a GTP cyclohydrolase 1 mutation-confirmed heterozygous case presenting with an infantile hypokinetic rigid syndrome and delay in attainment of motor milestones starting from the first year of life. He had a family history of dopa-responsive dystonia-parkinsonism. CSF neopterin, biopterin and HVA values were decreased. Molecular study of GCH-1 gene showed the Q89X mutation in exon 1. Treatment with l-dopa resulted in a complete remission of symptoms.
