BACKGROUND: The deletion mutation of glutamate codon (GAG) in the TOR1A gene is a major cause of primary generalized dystonia. Recent genetic studies suggest that the rs1182 polymorphism in the same gene may represent a risk factor for primary dystonia. However, this finding has been inconsistent. Furthermore, no data on such an association in a Chinese population have been published. METHODS: A total of 291...
