TorsinA and DYT1 dystonia: a synaptopathy?
DYT1 dystonia is an autosomal dominant movement disorder, characterized by early onset of involuntary sustained muscle contractions. It is caused by a 3-bp deletion in the DYT1 gene, which results in the deletion of a single glutamate residue in the C-terminus of the protein TA (torsinA). TA is a member of the AAA+ (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) family of chaperones with m...
متن کاملDYT1 dystonia increases risk taking in humans
It has been difficult to link synaptic modification to overt behavioral changes. Rodent models of DYT1 dystonia, a motor disorder caused by a single gene mutation, demonstrate increased long-term potentiation and decreased long-term depression in corticostriatal synapses. Computationally, such asymmetric learning predicts risk taking in probabilistic tasks. Here we demonstrate abnormal risk tak...
متن کاملDeveloping RNAi therapy For DYT1 dystonia
DYT1 dystonia is an early onset central nervous system-based movement disorder characterized by uncontrolled sustained muscle contractions that can lead to debilitating abnormal postures. Though a genetic mutation in the gene TOR1A is responsible for most DYT1 cases, the low penetrance of the disease implicates additional genetic and environmental modifiers. Current therapeutic options for DYT1...
متن کاملNon-DYT1 early-onset primary torsion dystonia: comparison with DYT1 phenotype and review of the literature.
To investigate the clinical features of early-onset primary torsion dystonia (EO-PTD), 57 consecutive genetically characterized patients with onset before 21 years were studied. Sex, ethnic origin, family history of dystonia, age at onset, disease duration, site of dystonia onset and distribution at latest examination, dystonia progression, time to generalization, and motor disability were note...
متن کاملearly-onset primary dystonia (dyt1)
dystonia is a movement disorder that causes sustained muscle contractions, repetitive twisting movements, and abnormal postures of the trunk, neck, face, or arms and legs. inherited dystonias can be classified as primary dystonia, dystonia-plus, heredo-degenerative dystonia, and paroxysmal dyskinesias with dystonia. the primary dystonias are those with no other neurologic abnormalities. primary...
