Genome editing in induced pluripotent stem cells rescues TAF1 levels in X‐linked dystonia‐parkinsonism
1 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
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 investigate whether (1) TAF1 expression is altered in induced pluripotent stem cells and differentiated neuronal models and (2) excision of the retrotransposon...
