Unawareness of causes of sudden deterioration in Parkinson’s patients in movement disorder clinic
Objective: To evaluate patient's awareness of reversible causes of worsening of Parkinson's disease (PD)1, their impact on symptoms and the role of abdominal x-ray (PFA)…Motor rigidity selectively associates with impaired odor identification in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between impairments of the cardinal motor symptoms and odor identification deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Although hyposmia has been…Dementia in Parkinson’s disease is associated with increased diffusivity in amygdala and external capsule
Objective: To identify which regions are associated with dementia in Parkinson's disease (PD) brains. Background: Dementia is common in advanced PD and its early development…Lack of association between LRRK2 G2385R and cognitive dysfunction in Korean patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated whether the G2385R polymorphism in LRRK2, a risk allele for the development of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) in East Asians, is associated…Frequency of GBA1 and LRRK2 G2019S mutations, and body mass index in Ashkenazi Jews
Objective: To evaluate the frequency and characteristics of parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease (PD) attributable to LRRK2 G2019S and Glucocerebrosidase1 (GBA1) mutations in Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ)…Impulse control disorder associates with tyrosine hydroxylase 2 gene variants in Parkinson’s disease patients subject to dopaminergic therapy
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify novel genetic variants associated with Impulse control disorder (ICD) manifestation in PD patients subject to dopaminergic…Association analysis of SNP rs11868035 in SREBF1 with Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple system atrophy in a Chinese population
Objective: To examine the possible genetic association of rs11868035 with Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) in a Chinese…Neuronal nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Understanding the role of NNMT in initiation and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: 10-15% of all PD cases are caused by genetic factors,…Serum levels of polychlorinated biphenyls, CYP2B6 and neurodegenerative disease in the Faroe Islands
Objective: To investigate genetic variability in CYP2B6, PCB levels and Parkinson's disease in the Faroese. Background: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent man-made highly toxic pollutants…Epigenome-wide association study of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify gene-specific DNA methylation associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: There is a growing interest in the role of epigenetic DNA methylation (DNAm)…
