This $365,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under its Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports the development of novel cellular systems for modeling DYT1 dystonia using patient-derived neurons. The key objective is to investigate the molecular pathogenesis of DYT1 dystonia, a severe hereditary movement disorder, by examining how dysregulation of the nuclear lamina protein LMNB1 contributes to the observed cellular deficits in patient neurons. The research aims to elucidate the pathways disrupted by the DYT1 genetic mutation, identify mislocalized LMNB1-interacting proteins, and assess functional neurological changes, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms. This one-year award to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-Shreveport will leverage their expertise in neuroscience and dystonia research to advance the field.
