Bimanual Synkinesis mutation related to mental health disorders?

[BrandonH1988]

Hello, I am a 25 year old male who recently discovered what it was called that made my arms and hands mimic each other, and i have also been diagnosed as manic depressive/anti-social. I was wondering if there could be any link between the two due to the mutation in the brain or if they are entirely unrelated, and also if there is anything to worry about with the mutation that could cause other disorders down the road or if it is something that i will just have to live with for the rest of my live with no worries.

As far as i know i am the only one in my immediate family that has it, my 3 year old niece is showing symptoms of it as well but it is hard to tell at the moment. I heard it was hereditary but neither my father nor mother has it, and as far as i know their relatives didn't either. I'm doing fine as of now with the mirror movements, it just gets a little frustrating doing some tasks such as heavy lifting with one hand while the other clenches into a fist. I'ts more embarrassing than anything. Thanks for the feedback, I hope to get checked out again soon by a doctor and see if all is well.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Bimanual synkinesis can occur in Kallmann's syndrome. This is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.  The other characteristics of this disorder are hypogonadism and osteoporosis.  Bimanual synkinesis can also be a familial occurrence.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
