Previous work has suggested that in many neurological diseases genetic variability in the loci predisposing subjects to autosomal dominant disease contributes to the risk of sporadic disease. Here, using a population-based sample of dystonia cases, we show an association with the torsin A haplotype and sporadic idiopathic dystonia.
