Sporadic focal dystonia in northwest Germany: molecular basis on chromosome 18p.

Annals of neurology - 1 Jul 1997

Leube B, Hendgen T, Kessler K R, Knapp M, Benecke R, Auburger G

Abstract excerpt

Idiopathic focal dystonia (IFD) is the most common form of idiopathic torsion dystonia in the Euroamerican population, with a prevalence of about 30 per 100,000. Although most patients claim a negative family history, we recently mapped this syndrome to chromosome 18p as an autosomal dominant trait in Family K from Northwest Germany. We now have investigated sporadic patients with IFD from the same geographic...
