## Abstract Task‐specific focal upper limb dystonia can be part of the phenotypic spectrum of different types of hereditary dystonia. We investigated whether writer's cramp as presenting symptom is associated with mutations in __DYT11__, __DYT16__, or with the __DYT1__ GAG deletion in 43 patients.

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

Recently, the mutation causing early-onset generalized torsion dystonia has been identified as a GAG deletion in the gene for an adenosine triphosphate-binding protein named torsinA.

A recent prospective analysis on writer's cramp showed that up to 44.6% of patients in a series of 65 presented mirror dystonia, defined as involuntary movements of the resting hand, abnormal posture, tremor, and jerks occurring while writing with the opposite hand. A clinical case is presented, wit
