Loss of Elp1 disrupts trigeminal ganglion neurodevelopment in a model of Familial Dysautonomia
2021-06-10
Abstract excerpt
Familial Dysautonomia (FD) is a sensory and autonomic neuropathy caused by a mutation in Elongator complex protein 1 ( ELP1 ). FD patients have small trigeminal nerves and impaired perception of facial pain and temperature. These signals are relayed by nociceptive neurons in the trigeminal ganglion, a structure comprised of both neural crest- and placode-derived cells. Mice lacking Elp1 in neural crest derivati...
