Trait
Oculogyric crisis
An acute dystonic reaction with blepharospasm, periorbital twitches, and protracted fixed staring episodes. There may be a maximal upward deviation of the eyes in the sustained fashion. Oculogyric crisis can be triggered by a number of factors including neuroleptic medications.
Summary
- Body system
- Abnormality of the nervous system

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Oculogyric crisis is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| ACTBactin beta | Always | In 1 condition |
| DDCdopa decarboxylase | Always | In 2 conditions |
| SLC18A2solute carrier family 18 member A2 | Always | In 2 conditions |
| ATP13A2ATPase cation transporting 13A2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| GRIN1glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| PCBD1pterin-4 alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC6A3solute carrier family 6 member 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| SPRsepiapterin reductase | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| THtyrosine hydroxylase | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TSPOAP1TSPO associated protein 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| WARS2tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |

| DNM1Ldynamin 1L | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PTS6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
