X-Linked Parkinsonism: Phenotypic and Genetic Heterogeneity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
X-linked parkinsonism encompasses rare heterogeneous disorders mainly inherited as a recessive trait, therefore being more prevalent in males. Recent developments have revealed a complex underlying panorama, including a spectrum of disorders in which ...

Identifying genetic modifiers of age-associated penetrance in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Age at onset of X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism is 50% explained by the length of a repeat in an SVA insert. The authors perform a GWAS for genetic modifiers and discover three more loci, accounting for another 13% of variability in age at onset with the ...

Neuroinflammation and histone H3 citrullination are increased in X-linked Dystonia Parkinsonism post-mortem prefrontal cortex

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2020
Neuroinflammation plays a pathogenic role in neurodegenerative diseases and recent findings suggest that it may also be involved in X-linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP) pathogenesis.

Decreased N-TAF1 expression in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism patient-specific neural stem cells

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder involving a progressive loss of striatal medium spiny neurons. The mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration are not known, in part because there have been few cellular models ...

X-linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism patient cells exhibit altered signaling via nuclear factor-kappa B

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2017
X-linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease involving the loss of medium spiny neurons within the striatum. An XDP-specific haplotype has been identified, consisting of seven sequence variants which cluster around the ...

Association Study of TAF1 Variants in Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Increasing evidence reveals sex as an important factor in the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but associations between genes on the sex chromosomes and PD remain unknown.
