Deciphering the role of a SINE-VNTR-Alu retrotransposon polymorphism as a biomarker of Parkinson’s disease progression
13 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) retrotransposons are transposable elements which represent a source of genetic variation. We previously demonstrated that the presence/absence of a human-specific SVA, termed SVA_67, correlated with the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study, we demonstrate that SVA_67 acts as expression quantitative trait loci, thereby exhibiting a strong regulatory effect across the...
