MESSAGE: Hi,
Im not sure if you can help, but my wife has Dopa-responsive dystonia- (DYT 5) and retinitis pigmentosa. I was hoping to find out some information if possible. Or to see if you could put me in touch with someone that mey be better suited to this.
WE are wanting to start a family and want to know how Dopa-responsive dystonia- (DYT 5) and retinitis pigmentosa may effect the child or my wife during the proccess. She is currently taking levodopa  daily and would like to know if this in itself could have an effect on an unborn child.
Not sure if ive come through to the right place or not, but just looking for some information or an indication of whom i may speak to,.
I really look forward to hearing back from you,
Regards,
