Where is the gene for classical dystonia located?
Molecular genetic techniques link the dystonia ( DYT1 ) gene to chromosome 9 (9q34).
The mutation in the DYT1 gene has been characterized as a GAG deletion in the carboxy terminal of the gene that codes for an adenosine triphosphate-binding protein called torsin-A.
