Dystonia and Movement Disorders Biorepository - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to look at components of the blood to see if there are features that distinguish people with dystonia from people without dystonia. Identifying "biomarkers" in the blood that are associated with dystonia is greatly needed to help more accurately diagnosis dystonia and to identify subsets of dystonias that may have shared mechanisms. Being able to group individuals by underlying mechanisms can guide people with dystonia to the most appropriate future treatments that act specifically to correct one cause or another.
