The human orthologs of these two genes underlie DYT5 and DYT14 (Dopa-responsive) dystonia [1] which is phenotypically similar to DYT1 dystonia, except that DYT5 and DYT14 patients respond very well to the administration of L-dopa [36], [37] whereas DYT1 patients do not. Here, TOR1A is linked to Dystonia.
