Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In addition to the most frequent TOR1A/DYT1 mutation (c.907_909delGAG), a growing number of TOR1A sequence variants are found in dystonia patients. For most, functional characterization has demonstrated pathogenicity at different levels, implying that TOR1A genetic testing should not be limited to screening for c.907_909delGAG. METHODS: We tested 461 Serbian patients with isolated or combined dystonia...
