DYT1 dystonia patient-derived fibroblasts have increased deformability and susceptibility to damage by mechanical forces
2018-11-28
Abstract excerpt
DYT1 dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that is caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the DYT1 / TOR1A gene, which encodes torsinA, the luminal ATPase-associated (AAA+) protein. TorsinA is required for the assembly of functional linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes, and consequently the mechanical integration of the nucleus and the cytoskeleton. Despite the potential implicatio...
