Dystonia musculorum deformans type 1

A hereditary autosomal dominant form of dystonia musculorum deformans. Onset typically occurs in middle to late childhood and the disorder has a high incidence among Ashkenazi Jewish people, though PENETRANCE is incomplete and there is wide variablity in the severity and number of symptoms that may be present. Mutations in the DYT1 gene have been identified. OMIM: 128100
