Abstract excerpt
X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder resulting from an inherited intronic SINE-Alu-VNTR (SVA) retrotransposon in the TAF1 gene that causes dysregulation of TAF1 transcription. The specific mechanism underlying this dysregulation remains unclear, but it is hypothesized to involve the formation of G-quadruplexes (G4) structures within the XDP-SVA that impede transcription. In...
