Summary
Various in-vitro (induced pluripotent stem cells–derived) and in-vivo genetic models (animal models like Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, zebrafish, rodents, and non-human primates) have been used to study movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, hereditary ataxia, Huntington’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor. These genetic models have provided important clues on the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of these diseases and serve as useful platforms to unravel potential therapeutic targets. The next generation of genetic models is promising with the advancement of gene-editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, brain organoid technology, and identification of novel genes and loci from large-scale genetic studies will facilitate development of new genetic models.
