Description : 'Dystonia' describes a neurologic condition characterized by involuntary, sustained
muscle contractions affecting one or more sites of the body; 'torsion' refers to the
twisting nature of body movements observed in dystonia. Dystonia has been classified
as primary (dystonia as the sole or major symptom) or secondary (a symptom of another
disorder), and by age of onset, muscle groups affected, and mode of inheritance (Muller
and Kupke, 1990; Nemeth, 2002). See also DYT2 (224500) for reports of a similar disorder
that shows autosomal recessive inheritance.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the torsion dystonia-1 gene (DYT1, 605204.0001).;
