Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: TOR1A (torsinA, DYT1) is the leading cause of early-onset generalized dystonia, however, the associations between common TOR1A single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and primary adult-onset focal dystonia are controversial. METHODS: In a cohort of 201 focal cervical dystonia (CD) patients, we genotyped rs2296793 and rs3842225 SNPs in TOR1A using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length...
