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 ...

Woman With X-Linked Recessive Dystonia-Parkinsonism [PDF]
Despite recessive inheritance, X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (Lubag disease) has also been described in women presenting with a late-onset isolated parkinsonian syndrome. Interestingly, unlike in other populations, there is a slight female predominance in the prevalence of parkinsonism in the Philippines.In a Filipino woman with suspected Parkinson ...

Neuroenergetic Changes in Patients with X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism and Female Carriers. [PDF]
ABSTRACTBackgroundX‐linked dystonia‐parkinsonism (XDP) is a rare movement disorder characterized by profound neurodegeneration in the basal ganglia. The molecular consequences and the bioenergetic state of affected individuals remain largely unexplored.ObjectivesTo investigate the bioenergetic state in male patients with XDP and female carriers using ...

levels in X‐linked dystonia‐parkinsonism
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

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 ...
