Mutant torsinA in the heterozygous DYT1 state compromises HSV propagation in infected neurons and fibroblasts

Abstract Most cases of early onset torsion dystonia (DYT1) are caused by a 3-base pair deletion in one allele of the TOR1A gene causing loss of a glutamate in torsinA, a luminal protein in the nuclear envelope.
