  • Title: DYT1 mutation in Korean primary dystonia patients.
    Author: Im JH, Ahn TB, Kim KB, Ko SB, Jeon BS.
    Journal: Parkinsonism Relat Disord; 2004 Oct; 10(7):421-3. PubMed ID: 15465399.
    Abstract:
    One hundred sixty-two patients with Korean primary dystonia patients were screened for DYT1 mutation. Five patients were positive for DYT1 mutation. Generalized dystonia patients have higher rate of DYT1 mutation (3/7). Their onset age is young (7-20; mean 13.4). Two patients were found to have segmental dystonia. Like Japanese patients with DYT1 mutation, axial muscle involvement is notable.
