Mobile DNA Activity in Parkinson’s Disease: A Locus-Specific View of Endogenous Retroviruses
2026-07-03
Abstract excerpt
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are mobile genetic sequences derived from ancient retroviral infections. While typically silenced, their reactivation has been implicated in gene dysregulation, aging, and immune-related transcriptional pathogenesis of some neurodegenerative diseases. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, yet its etiology and HERV reactivation remain po...
