✦ Synopsis

A study of 71 patients with idiopathic torsion dystonia (ITD) and 71 matched controls was performed to investigate the range of possible clinical expression of ITD and the role of environmental factors in the development of the disease. A family history of tremor and stuttering were the only factors significantly associated with ITD. No associated environmental factor was identified.

Age of onset and severity of idiopathic torsion dystonia (ITD) were studied in 100 British families containing 107 index cases and 79 secondary cases. Analysis of variance of these clinical features did not suggest that ITD is genetically heterogenous, and they were similar in Jewish and non-Jewish

## Abstract Idiopathic torsion dystonia (ITD) is a dominantly inherited disorder with incomplete penetrance. It is important to identify factors that may cause dystonia or prevent its occurrence in a genetically predisposed individual. Because dystonia may be precipitated by peripheral triggers, we

Certain occupations that require frequent flexion movements of the hand at the wrist are recognized as precipitating the development of CTS.

## Abstract Although childhood, limb‐onset idiopathic torsion dystonia (ITD) is at increased prevalence among Jews, and Ashkenazi Jews with this form of ITD show linkage disequilibrium for a unique haplotype, little else is known about phenotypic or genetic variation in ITD among ethnic groups. We
