Autoimmune and Inflammatory Mechanisms in Cervical Dystonia

2020-09-05

Abstract excerpt

There are many causes for cervical dystonia (CD), although most cases are idiopathic and a cause cannot be identified. The observation that 10-15% of cases have an affected family member has pointed to genetic causes, but known genes account for only a small fraction of all cases. The current manuscript describes a series of studies focusing on potential autoimmune or inflammatory mechanisms in CD. First, a case-c...
