## Abstract Mutations in the __THAP1__ gene on chromosome 8p21βp22 (DYT6 locus) have been recently reported as causative of autosomal dominant primary torsion dystonia (PTD) in four AmishβMennonite families and in 12 additional probands of different ancestry. We sequenced the __THAP1__ gene in 158
By family-based screening, first Fuchs and then many other authors showed that mutations in THAP1 (THAP [thanatos-associated protein] domain-containing, apoptosis-associated protein 1) account for a substantial proportion of familial, early-onset, nonfocal, primary dystonia cases (DYT6 dystonia). TH
