## Abstract Inherited myoclonus dystonia (MD) is an autosomal dominant disorder in which we previously mapped a novel locus to chromosome18p11 (OMIM number: 607488). Since no further informative STS markers were found within the flanking shared regions, we utilized single nucleotide polymorphisms (

## Abstract Genetic haplotypes at five marker loci that are closely linked to the DYT1 gene on chromosome 9q were determined in 10 Ashkenazi Jewish patients with focal hand dystonia (eight with musician's cramp, two with writer's cramp). The founder haplotype associated with >90% of cases of genera
A 3-base pair (GAG) deletion in the DYT1 gene has recently been found to be responsible for most cases of early-onset primary generalized dystonia. In some cases, this mutation has been associated with writer's cramp. To determine the frequency of this mutation in a larger series of patients, we exa
## Abstract We report the clinical and molecular features of a family with focal hand dystonia caused by DYT1 mutation. Four members of a family who underwent thalamotomy showed a marked and sustained therapeutic benefit that lasted for up to 12 years without recurrence of dystonia or any significa
## Abstract The identification of a mutation of the __DYT1__ gene as a cause of inherited dystonia has led to many insights regarding the genetics of this disorder. In addition, there is a rapidly expanding list of inherited dystonia syndromes, the genes for some of which have been identified or lo
