The Effect of Glucocorticoids on TAF1 Gene Transcription in X-linked Dystonia Parkinsonism. [PDF]

open access: yesJ ASEAN Fed Endocr Soc, 2023
X-linked Dystonia Parkinsonism (XDP) is associated with a SINE-VNTR- Alu (SVA) retrotransposon insertion in an intron of the TAF1 gene that alters gene transcription and splicing. In this study, we determined if the SVA insertion introduces glucocorticoid (GC)-responsive cis-regulatory elements that may contribute to dysregulated TAF1 transcription and

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.

Oral diadochokinetic markers of X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism. [PDF]

open access: yesParkinsonism Relat Disord
X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) is a neurodegenerative disorder that may result in severe speech impairment. The literature suggests that there are differences in the speech of individuals with XDP and healthy controls. This study aims to examine the motor speech characteristics of the mixed dystonia-parkinsonism phase of XDP.We extracted acoustic

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 ...

Woman With X-Linked Recessive Dystonia-Parkinsonism [PDF]

open access: yesJAMA Neurology, 2014
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 ...

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.

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 ...
