First seen May 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a new DNA reading technology (long-read sequencing) to find genetic causes of dystonia—a movement disorder causing muscle spasms—in 150 people whose standard genetic tests came back normal. By reading longer DNA segments, researchers hope to uncover hidden genetic changes that standard methods miss. If successful, this could end the diagnostic journey for many families and guide personalized treatments.
