Pathogenic SREK1 decrease in Huntington's disease lowers TAF1 mimicking X-linked dystonia parkinsonism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The Author(s) (2020).Huntington’s disease and X-linked dystonia parkinsonism are two monogenic basal ganglia model diseases. Huntington’s disease is caused by a polyglutamine-encoding CAG repeat expansion in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene leading to several ...

Tissue-specific and repeat length-dependent somatic instability of the X-linked dystonia parkinsonism-associated CCCTCT repeat

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2022
X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) is a progressive adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder caused by insertion of a SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) retrotransposon in the TAF1 gene.

Depression in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism: A case-control study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP), also known as lubag, was originally described as endemic to Panay, Philippines [ [1] ]. XDP demonstrates a primary and progressive neuronal degeneration of the striatum and is characterized by an adult-onset movement

Psychomotor impairments and therapeutic implications revealed by a mutation associated with infantile Parkinsonism-Dystonia

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder affecting over 6.1 million people worldwide. Although the cause of PD remains unclear, studies of highly penetrant mutations identified in early-onset familial parkinsonism have ...

levels in X‐linked dystonia‐parkinsonism

open access: yes, 2018
Background: The most likely genetic cause of X‐linked dystonia‐parkinsonism, a neurodegenerative movement disorder endemic to the Philippines, is a 2672‐bp‐long retrotransposon insertion in intron 32 of the TAF1 gene. The objectives of this study were to

Transcriptional Alterations in X-Linked Dystonia–Parkinsonism Caused by the SVA Retrotransposon

open access: yes, 2022
X-linked dystonia–parkinsonism (XDP) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder that manifests as adult-onset dystonia combined with parkinsonism. A SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) retrotransposon inserted in an intron of the TAF1 gene reduces its expression and ...

Phenomenology of "Lubag" or X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism

open access: yes, 2002
X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP), or Lubag syndrome, is known to cause progressive dystonia, with or without parkinsonism, among Filipino male adults with maternal roots from the Philippine island of Panay.

Non-invasive detection of allele-specific CRISPR-SaCas9-KKH disruption of TOR1A DYT1 allele in a xenograft mouse model

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
DYT1 dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by a dominant 3-base pair deletion (ΔGAG) in the TOR1A gene. This study demonstrates a gene-editing approach that selectively targets the ΔGAG mutation in the TOR1A DYT1 allele while ...

Validation of a Questionnaire for Distinguishing X-Linked Dystonia Parkinsonism From Its Mimics

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
Objectives: X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder endemic to the island of Panay in the Philippines. We undertook a population-based prevalence study to enumerate all cases of XDP in Panay.

Postnatal Conditional Deletion of Bcl11b in Striatal Projection Neurons Mimics the Transcriptional Signature of Huntington’s Disease

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
The dysregulation of striatal gene expression and function is linked to multiple diseases, including Huntington’s disease (HD), Parkinson’s disease, X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP), addiction, autism, and schizophrenia. Striatal medium spiny neurons
