Genetic Researchers Need Your Help

Finding genes associated with dystonia may be the key to understanding how to better treat or cure the disorder. A collaborative team from Beth Israel Medical Center and Mount Sinai School of Medicine is conducting a study aimed at finding these genes. If there are two or more living individuals in your family with any form of dystonia you may be eligible to volunteer for this important study. Participants will be asked to complete a short questionnaire and medical record release form, sign study consents, and give a blood sample. Your information will be kept strictly confidential.
