The early-onset torsion dystonia gene (DYT1) encodes an ATP-binding protein
- L. Ozelius, J. Hewett, X. Breakefield
- BiologyNature Genetics
- 1 September 1997
The DYT1 gene on human chromosome 9q34 is identified as being responsible for early-onset torsion dystonia, a movement disorder, characterized by twisting muscle contractures, that begins in childhood.

This review provides an introduction into this expanding and complex field of research focusing on the biogenesis, nucleic acid cargo loading, content, release, and uptake of extracellular vesicles.
Tumour microvesicles contain retrotransposon elements and amplified oncogene sequences.
- L. Balaj, Ryan T Lessard, J. Skog
- BiologyNature Communications
- 1 February 2011
Tumour microvesicles contain a repertoire of genetic information available for horizontal gene transfer and potential use as blood biomarkers for cancer, including elevated levels of specific coding and non-coding RNA and DNA, mutated and amplified oncogene sequences and transposable elements.
Abnormal behavior associated with a point mutation in the structural gene for monoamine oxidase A.
- H. Brunner, M. Nelen, X. Breakefield, H. Ropers, B. V. van Oost

Analytical results indicate that isolated complete MAOA deficiency in this family is associated with a recognizable behavioral phenotype that includes disturbed regulation of impulsive aggression.
Genetic analysis of idiopathic torsion dystonia in Ashkenazi Jews and their recent descent from a small founder population
- N. Risch, D. D. Leon, S. Bressman
- BiologyNature Genetics
- 1 February 1995
The recent origin of this dominant mutation and its current high frequency suggest that the Ashkenazi population descends from a limited group of founders, and emphasize the importance of genetic drift in determining disease allele frequencies in this population.
Glioblastoma microvesicles transport RNA and protein that promote tumor growth and provide diagnostic biomarkers
- J. Skog, T. Wurdinger, X. Breakefield
- Biology, MedicineNature Cell Biology
- 25 September 2008
Tumour-derived microvesicles may provide diagnostic information and aid in therapeutic decisions for cancer patients through a blood test by incorporating an mRNA for a reporter protein into them, and it is demonstrated that messages delivered by microvesicle are translated by recipient cells.
