Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shela Marie Algodon"
- Shela Marie Algodon's research predominantly focuses on X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP), a neurodegenerative movement disorder endemic to the Philippines, exploring clinical, genetic, and molecular aspects across varying cohorts.
- Her studies reveal significant findings related to the clinical features, genetic modifiers of disease onset, and bioenergetic changes in both affected patients and female carriers, using advanced techniques such as phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging.
- Algodon's work also highlights the role of retrotransposons, specifically the SVA element, in transcribing alterations associated with XDP, which contributes to understanding the pathogenesis of this condition at a molecular level.
