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

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 ...

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

Differential Response of Dystonia and Parkinsonism following Globus Pallidus Internus Deep Brain Stimulation in X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (Lubag)

open access: yes, 2010
<i>Background:</i> X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP; DYT3; Lubag) is an adult-onset hereditary progressive dystonia/parkinsonism which is typically minimally responsive to pharmacological treatment.

Sertraline Treatment Can Mimic Niemann‐Pick Type C Biomarker Profile: A Diagnostic Pitfall

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oxysterols (cholestane‐3β,5α,6β‐triol and 7‐ketocholesterol) and N‐palmitoyl‐O‐phosphocholineserine (PPCS) are sensitive biomarkers for Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC) screening. However, false‐positive results occur, with a biomarker profile suggestive of NPC despite the absence of pathogenic variants in genes involved in NPC or ...

Neuroenergetic Changes in Patients with X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism and Female Carriers. [PDF]

open access: yesMov Disord Clin Pract
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 ...

Molecular and Clinical Repercussions of GABA Transporter 1 Variants Gone Amiss: Links to Epilepsy and Developmental Spectrum Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
The human γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter 1 (hGAT-1) is the first member of the solute carrier 6 (SLC6) protein superfamily. GAT-1 (SLC6A1) is one of the main GABA transporters in the central nervous system.

Remote Magnetomechanical Neuromodulation Uncovers Therapeutic Mechanisms for Alleviating Parkinsonian Symptoms in Freely Moving Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetomechanical neuromodulation using magnetic nanodiscs enables remote activation of neurons. In a hemiparkinsonian mouse model, alternating magnetic fields actuate the nanodiscs to generate torque that opens mechanosensitive ion channels within the subthalamic nucleus, thereby modulating basal ganglia motor circuitry.

Translation, Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of the Hiligaynon Montreal Cognitive Assessment Tool (MoCA-Hil) Among Patients With X-Linked Dystonia Parkinsonism (XDP)

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background: X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP) is a neurodegenerative disease endemic to Filipinos with maternal lineage from Panay Island, Philippines. Patients present with dystonia concurrent with or followed by parkinsonism. Non-motor symptoms also

iPSC motor neurons, but not other derived cell types, capture gene expression changes in postmortem sporadic ALS motor neurons

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Motor neuron degeneration, the defining feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a primary example of cell-type specificity in neurodegenerative diseases.
