BACKGROUND: TOR1A encodes a chaperone-like AAA-ATPase whose Delta GAG (Delta E) mutation is responsible for an early onset, generalised dystonia syndrome. Because of the established role of the TOR1A gene in heritable generalised dystonia (DYT1), a potential genetic contribution of TOR1A to the m...
