Evidence for DYT7 being a common cause of cervical dystonia (torticollis) in Central Europe.

American journal of medical genetics - 19 Sept 1997

Abstract excerpt

Adult-onset focal idiopathic torsion dystonias (AFITD), such as torticollis, have a prevalence similar to that of multiple sclerosis and usually seem sporadic. Only recently has one large AFITD pedigree "K" with autosomal dominant inheritance and reduced penetrance from Northwest Germany provided the opportunity to identify a gene locus on chromosome 18p. We have now tested the relevance of this DYT7 gene locus...
