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

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