Clinical evaluation of genetic changes of polymerase chain reaction in patients with PD at early stage
Objective: To assess the clinical feature of genetic changes in PARK1 (α-synuclein) and PARK2 with the help of PCR in patients with Parkinson’s disease and…Downregulation of blood serum microRNA 29 family in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aims of the present study were to profile the expression of microRNA29 family (miR-29s) in blood serum from patients with PD vs unaffected…Polymorphisms of glutamatergic system genes are associated with levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to study the association between glutamatergic system gene polymorphisms (SLC1A2 – gene, coding excitatory acids transporter, and GRIN2A gene, coding a subunit…Tef polymorphism predicts the decline of sleep disturbances in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Circadian dysfunction may contribute to the etiology of motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The influence of polymorphisms of Cry1 rs2287161, Cry2…BDNF(V66M), EIF4G1(R1205H), VPS35(D620N) gene polymorphisms in South Indian PD Patients
Objective: To investigate the association of BDNF(V66M), EIF4G1(R1205H) and VPS35(D620N) polymorphisms in South Indian PD patients. Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common form…Full sequencing and haplotype analysis reveals LRRK2 protective haplotype in REM sleep behavior disorder
Objective: To examine the role of LRRK2 mutations and variants in susceptibility for RBD. Background: Rapid eye movement (REM)-sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is, in most…Lysosphingolipids accumulation in macrophage model of Gaucher disease
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate if GCase deficiency in macrophage model of GD lead to lysosphingolipids accumulation. Background: Mutations in the…Association analysis of miRNA-linked variants with Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy in a large Chinese population
Objective: To explore the relationship between two miRNA-linked variants (SPPLB rs1128402 and PDXK rs2070535) and two neurodegenerative diseases (PD and MSA) in a large Chinese…Relationship between cyclooxygenase-2 gene polymorphisms and Parkinson’s disease susceptibility in Chinese Han population
Objective: To investigate relationship between the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene promoter region (rs20417, rs689466, rs689465) and 3'untranslated region (rs5275) polymorphisms with Parkinson’s disease (PD) susceptibility in…Novel population-specific mutationsin PINK1 and Parkin genes from India
Objective: To look for novel and population-specific genes for PD in 50 Indian families with Parkinson's disease Background: Till date, 138 mutations in PINK1 and…
