Update on the Genetics of Dystonia

We present confirmatory evidence for a role of dystonia genes that had not yet been unequivocally established includingPRKRA,TUBB4A,ANO3, andTAF1. We finally discuss selected novel genes for dystonia such asKMT2B andVAC14 along with the challenges for gene identification in the NGS era and the translational importance of dystonia genetics in clinical practice.
