Genetic and neuropathological study of primary and secondary dystonic syndromes

This thesis will examine monogenetic forms of primary dystonia related to TOR1A, THAP1 and GCH1 genes with a focus on genetic and neuropathological investigation. Further, this thesis discusses the neuropathology of genetic disorders under the neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NB IA) spectrum , B eta - propeller protein associated neurodegeneration (B PAN ) and neuroacanthocytosis. The genetics of spinocerebellar ataxia 8 will be discussed. This thesis also discusses the possibility of a common pathology for the lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) impinging on ceram ide pathway.
