The advent of next generation sequencing is rapidly expanding the list of genes causing isolated dystonia, including dominant mutations in THAP1 (DYT6), TOR1A (DYT1), GNAL (DYT25), ANO3 (DYT24), CIZ1 (DYT23) and TUBB4A (DYT4), and recessive mutations in HPCA (DYT2), COL6A3 (DYT27) and PRKRA (DYT16) [1–6], although some of these are still pending confirmation. The gene discussed is GNAL; the disease is Dystonia.
