The genetics of idiopathic torsion dystonia.

International journal of neurology - 1 Jan 2000

Fahn S

Abstract excerpt

The controversy regarding the mode of inheritance of idiopathic torsion dystonia in the Ashkenazi Jewish population has been resolved. At one time it was believed to be inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder. But recent studies, including a prospective, systematic, blinded analysis of the first- and second-degree relatives of 43 probands with age at onset less than 28 years found the disorder to be...
