More than 300,000 people in North America are affected, but the mechanism of abnormal muscle constrictions has not been well understood.

Few people who inherit dystonia genes display symptoms — namely sustained muscle contractions and involuntary gestures — and the study provides a possible explanation. This result could lead to new treatments for the estimated 500,000 North Americans diagnosed with dystonia.
