Abstract

Dystonia is the main or accompanying symptom in many genetic disorders with complex molecular pathophysiology. So far, more than fifty genetic disorders have been listed as causes of monogenic dystonia, manifesting as isolated, combined, or complex forms of dystonia. Besides, many anecdotal gene-dystonia links have been reported. A systematized approach based on phenomenology and proper selection of diagnostic tools is essential to guide the clinician in the identification of the potential genetic disorder responsible for dystonia in individual cases. This article provides an overview of the molecular and clinical features of the most common dystonia monogenic disorders.
