Common polymorphisms in dystonia-linked genes and susceptibility to the sporadic primary dystonias.

Abstract excerpt

Genes involved in familial dystonia syndromes (DYT genes) are ideal candidates for investigating whether common genetic variants influence the susceptibility to sporadic primary dystonia. To date, there have been few candidate gene studies for primary dystonia and only two DYT genes, TOR1A and THAP1, have been assessed. We therefore employed a haplotype-tagging strategy to comprehensively assess if common...
