Mirror movements (MRMV) are involuntary movements of one side of the body that mirror intentional movements on the opposite side. While mirror movements are occasionally found in young children, persistence beyond the age of 10 is abnormal. Congenital mirror movements is a rare disorder that is mainly inherited in an autosomal-dominant fashion. Mutations in DCC, the gene encoding receptor for netrin 1 have been identified in MRMV patients. It has also been reported that RAD51 haploinsufficiency causes the heterogeneous MRMV.
