All of us at the MGH Collaborative Center for X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism wish to congratulate Harvard senior, Jeromel Dela Rosa Lara, a 2023 recipient of the Harvard Hoopes Prize for his thesis on Filipina migrant domestic workers in the Middle East. #AAPIHeritageMonth

Twist of fate: What happens when a top Parkinson’s researcher gets the disease? By Meredith Wadman in Science Magazine science.org/content/articl…

Our new paper with Koen Breyne, Katia Maalouf, and Xandra Breakefield describing a mouse xenograft model of XDP with a system for tracking CNS-derived exosomes is now out in Molecular Therapy. A big thanks to all co-authors for a great collaboration. cell.com/molecular-ther…

Excited to share our new paper on the natural history of X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism describing quantitative measures that could serve as trial endpoints. A huge effort by an international team. MGH Neurology @MGH_RI MassGeneral News #dystonia academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Excellent commentary by Drs. Allison Brashear and Ihtsham Haq on our work characterizing the natural history of X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism. MGH Neurology @MGH_RI #dystonia #parkinsons academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Its #TylersHopeTuesday! Thank you JA memes for helping to spreading awareness for the more than 500,000 people affected by #dystonia in N. America alone. #DystoniaSux #dyt1 #dystoniawarrior #dystoniaawareness #havehopewilltravel #cobhireland @cobh_ireland @gatorstaabheel

I didn't know Neurdle was a thing, but glad to see it's giving a shout out to dystonia today.

Accelerometry may be a useful low-cost screening tool for determining individuals at risk of developing Parkinson disease. It could also aid recruitment of individuals into clinical trials targeting the prodromal phase. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Extremely well deserved recognition!

Really interesting study applying machine learning to DBS programming in dystonia.

Absolutely delighted to announce the opening of The Muses Clinic for Minoritized Youth for UCSF Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences UC San Francisco UCSF Health! With Dr. Brittany Bryant and other minoritized faculty + staff, our clinic will work with minoritized kids around discrimination and healing!🥰💖🦄🏳️‍🌈🦸🏽🔥✊🏽

.Jose Florez, a longstanding member of the Mass General family, will become the new chair of MassGeneral Medicine, starting Sept. 1. Dr. Florez's impressive career and commitment to patient care, research and equity make him the ideal leader.

Fantastic new study in NatureStructMolBiol from CCXDP grant recipients Vivien Horvath and Johan Jakobsson describing how ZFN91 affects the transcriptional defects induced by an SVA retroelement that is the cause of X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism. #dystonia rdcu.be/dKdzh

🧬#Transposons are movable DNA elements that contribute to genetic variation and can also cause disease. Diving deep into our genome, Johan Jakobsson has revealed that the heterochromatin status of a disease-causing transposon affects the severity of X-linked dystonia parkinsonism.

All of us at CCXDP are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Dr. Mahlon DeLong, whose contributions to dystonia are immeasurable. His leadership at Dystonia Medical Research Foundation supported many of us in the field, including myself, at critical junctures in our transition to independence.

New CCXDP research led by Drs. Chris Stephen, Nutan Sharma, and Paolo Bonato describes how wearable motion sensors can be used to quantify complex, combined motor phenotypes in X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism. #dystonia #parkinsons doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Very honored to contribute to this new review in The Lancet Neurology on neurological disorders caused by non-coding repeat expansions. A big thanks to lead author Dr. Andrea Cortese at UCL for bringing this together. thelancet.com/journals/laneu…

Great new study from CCXDP grant recipients, Lizzy Fisher and Beth Simpson, describing the first mouse model bearing conditional knockout of TAF1, the causal gene associated with X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP) and X-Linked Intellectual Disability journals.biologists.com/dmm/article/17…

Bragg lab summer outing at the Cape. Really grateful for the great work done by my fantastic team.

Pleased to contribute to this new study led by Drs. Jimi Rosenkrantz and Frank Jacobs further describing how ZFN91 suppresses the transcriptional defects induced by an SVA insertion in cells from patients with X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
