Congenital mirror movement Congenital Mirror Movement (CMM) disorder causes people afflicted with this rare condition to involuntarily move both sides
{"Image DocumentName": "Congenital mirror movement", "Image ImageDescription": "Congenital Mirror Movement (CMM) disorder causes people afflicted with this rare condition to involuntarily move both sides of the body when they intend to move only one. To sort out the adult mirror movement cause, a group of researchers sequenced the DNA of two families, one French Canadian and one Iranian, who seemed to have congenital mirror movement issues. They looked for genetic similarities between family members with mirror movements, and compared their DNA to other controls of the same ethnicity. Researchers noticed that the family members who had mirror movements shared a common haplotype on one region of chromosome 18, 18q21.2. The affected area spanned 2.5 million base pairs and contains three genes, one of which is the DCC gene.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
