The rs35153737 variant showed a statistically significant association with dystonia using the allele model (P=0.035) and the dominant genetic model (P=0.018); however, no association between rs3842225 and dystonia was found.
Stratification of patients based on age at the disease onset (≤ 30 years and > 30 years) showed statistically significant prevalence of the del-allele at the rs3842225 locus in Slavic patients with earlier age of onset of dystonia (36.96% vs. 21.39% in patients with late age of onset, p = 0.002) and an overrepresentation of the T-allele at the rs1182 locus (36.96% vs. 21.69%, p = 0.003).
