Although geniospasm is a benign condition, chin trembling can be distressing and embarrassing, especially when it is first encountered [14]. However, as described in our patients, it can be treated effectively using low doses of botulinum toxin.
What causes Geniospasm?
Hereditary geniospasm is believed to be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Although the exact gene that causes the condition is unknown, it has been suggested that mutations in a gene on chromosome 9 may be responsible in some families.

Geniospasm is a hereditary disorder characterized by episodic, usually stress-induced involuntary trembling of the chin. Nineteen families from Europe and the U.S.A. suffering from this disorder have been described since 1894. We present three cases from two newly detected families.
