TorsinA protein and neuropathology in early onset generalized dystonia with GAG deletion

Familial, early onset, generalized torsion dystonia is the most common and severe primary dystonia. Most cases are caused by a 3-bp deletion (GAG) in the coding region of the TOR1A ( DYT1) gene, which is widely expressed in human brain and encodes the protein torsinA. This study compares neuropathol...
