If another member of your family has early-onset dystonia, you have probably asked yourself whether you will also develop symptoms. Your test results may provide you with the additional knowledge. A positive result only means that you may develop symptoms and most individuals who have the gene do not develop the symptoms of dystonia. Moreover, a negative result does not necessarily mean that you are “dystonia free.” There are other forms of inherited dystonia.
