Welcome to Connect, @cbuss; what a great question!
Although I'm not quite sure about where you would be able to obtain this information, I will post it on tomorrow's Facebook Live event where Mayo Clinic certified genetic counselor Jessica Jackson will give a presentation with a virtual discussion to follow, regarding the importance of family history.

I would also encourage you to sign up for this event, which will take place on tomorrow, Nov.18 at 11am ET.

You do not need a Facebook account to be able to watch the broadcast. You will also be able to watch it right here on this page on Connect.

In the meantime, I would like you to meet @Kaia, @netfun2011, @kevinkelley, @shenaaz, and @lo who have talked about various forms of dystonia in the past.

@cbuss, have you been diagnosed with myoclonic dystonia?
