<i>MSH3</i> is a genetic modifier of somatic repeat instability in X-linked dystonia parkinsonism
2025-05-16
Abstract excerpt
X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP) is a progressive adult-onset neurogenerative disorder caused by the insertion of a SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) retrotransposon in TAF1 gene. One element of the SVA is a tandem polymorphic CCCTCT repeat tract whose length inversely correlates with the age of disease onset. Previous observations that the repeat exhibits length-dependent somatic expansion and that XDP onset is modified b...
