Brief Summary
Dystonia is defined as a syndrome of sustained muscle contractions resulting in repetitive movements and abnormal postures. DYT1 is the most common form of genetic dystonia, but the link between genomic mutations and phenotypic expression remains largely unknown. Furthermore, secondary forms of dystonia have highlighted the role of the basal ganglia, particularly the putamen in the pathophysiology of the disease. Experimental results in a genetic model of dystonia in rodents suggest that cholinergic inter-neurons (ACh-I) of the putamen play a critical role in the pathological process of plasticity in the cortico-striatal synapse. However, these results have not been demonstrated in humans.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Binding potential
Image (PET) of the intensity of fixation of Cholinergic tracer (Binding potential)
Inclusion (V0)
Study Arms (1)
Cholinergic striatal imaging
EXPERIMENTALCholinergic striatal imaging (IRM and TEP) to compare the intensity of the binding of cholinergic tracer
Interventions
Molecular imaging using a PET radiotracer of the vesicular acetylcholine transporter.
Multimodal MRI, MRI diffusion tensor (to study the microscopic structure of white matter) and functional MRI of the resting state (to study the functional organization of cerebral cholinergic networks at rest).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Man or woman 18 to 75 years, with health insurance European health insurance card (for resident patients in EU), insurance by bilateral social security agreement signed between his country and France (for resident patients outside the EU)
- Diagnosis of dystonia DYT1 confirmed by molecular biology (TORSINE- A gene mutation)
- Patient who stopped his anticholinergic treatment 48 hours before imaging
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who underwent surgery for deep brain stimulation or under cholinergic treatment.
- Presence of a counter-indication for MRI
- Presence of a counter-indication for TEP Scan with \[18F\]-FEOBV
- Woman premenopausal without effective ongoing contraception (intrauterine device or combined hormonal)
- Patient who underwent a PET examination in the previous month
- Presence of any health problem preventing travel to the imaging service of the University Hospital
- Being under the legal guardianship of another person or being unable to provide consent to participate
- Pregnant or breastfeeding woman
