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 ...

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

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.

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.
