    ABSTRACT: Essential tremor has a high heritability, but its molecular genetic determinants remain unknown. Müller et al. conduct a genome-wide association study in more than 2800 patients with essential tremor and more than 6800 controls of European descent, and identify three new loci associated with the disease. We conducted a genome-wide association study of essential tremor, a common movement disorder characterized mainly by a postural and kinetic tremor of the upper extremities. Twin and family history studies show a high heritability for essential tremor. The molecular genetic determinants of essential tremor are unknown. We included 2807 patients and 6441 controls of European descent in our two-stage genome-wide association study. The 59 most significantly disease-associated marker
