X-linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP) is a lethal adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder that exhibits features of dystonia and parkinsonism and is exclusively associated with a causal founder haplotype that is indigenous to the Philippines and affects Filipino males. Using patient-specific fibroblasts, neural stem cells (NSC), and other neuronal models, we discovered that cryptic alternative splicing caused by a novel SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) mobile element insertion into intron 32 of TAF1 is a mecha...
