The Faroese Parkinson’s diseases research program-Multifactorial analyses of a complex syndrome
Objective: The program aim is to assess the contribution of genes and environment influencing susceptibility, progression and the relative contribution of risk factors underlying Parkinson's…Investigation of mosaicism for copy number variants in PD brain
Objective: To investigate the presence of genetic mosaicism due to somatically acquired copy number variants (CNVs) affecting PD genes in PD brain. Background: The cause…Exome sequencing in the Czech patients with early-onset Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate prevalence of disease causing mutations and other rare variants in patients with the Early-Onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD). Background: Currently, there are four…Genetic analysis of CHCHD2 gene in Parkinson’s disease in a Taiwanese population
Objective: To evaluate the genetic mutations of CHCHD2 gene in Taiwanese Parkinson's disease patients. Background: A recent study identified a missense mutation in coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain–containing…Genetic risk factors of dementia and psychosis in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated the impacts of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype and glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA) heterozygote mutations on dementia or psychosis in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background:…Genetic Identification of early-onset parkinsonism among Norwegian patients
Objective: To investigate the genetic etiology of early-onset (AAO > 45 Years) parkinsonism. Background: Parkinsonism is a neurological syndrome characterized by resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia…C9ORF72 intermediate repeat copies as a rare genetic cause of atypical Parkinsonian syndromes or Parkinson’s disease complicated by psychosis in a Sardinian population
Objective: To screen for the presence of C9ORF72 repeat expansions in patients affected by atypical parkinsonism syndromes and PD complicated by psychosis or dementia, and…Next-generation profiling to identify the molecular etiology of Parkinson’s disease dementia
Objective: To identify novel gene regulatory events associated with Parkinson's disease with dementia (PD-D). Background: PD-D is associated with the spread of degenerative pathology to…Do environmental factors influence the age at onset of Parkinson’s disease in LRRK2 G2019S carriers?
Objective: To evaluate the influence of environmental factors on the age at onset of Parkinson's disease in LRRK2 G2019S carriers. Background: Environmental and lifestyle factors…Genome-wide bioinformatic analysis of Parkinson’s disease: A focus on neuronal health maintenance
Objective: To scan the human genome for genes involved in neuronal health maintenance in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: An enormous number of genes and pathways…
