Interest in genetic testing in Parkinson’s disease patients with deep brain stimulation
Objective: To determine interest in genetic testing in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Background: Approximately 27% of early-onset PD patients with…SMPD1 mutations, acid-sphingomyelinase activity and α-synuclein accumulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To study the effects of SMPD1 (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase-1 gene) variants and acid-sphingomyelinase (ASMase) activity on Parkinson's disease (PD), and the effect of SMPD1 knockdown…Assessment of Parkinson’s disease risk loci as DNA methylation quantitative trait loci
Objective: To gain potential mechanistic insight into the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), a map of DNA methylation in normal human brain assessing 486,428 CpG…Analysis of the genetic variability in Parkinson’s disease from southern Spain
Objective: Our study was to assess the contribution of known genes in a cohort diagnosed with either familial (FPD) or early-onset sporadic PD (EOPD) from…Two cases of parkinsonism with atypical genetics
Objective: To report and discuss two unrelated patients carrying heterozygous mutations in both Parkin (PARK2) and Glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene, with atypical Parkinsonian features. Background: Parkin…Genetic variation near the SNCA gene associates with Parkinson’s disease motor phenotype and progression
Objective: To examine the extent to which single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with motor phenotype and progression in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Tremor-dominant (TD)…Deletions at 22q11.2 in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease: A combined analysis of GWAS data
Objective: To verify the reported association of Parkinson's disease(PD) with Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome(22q11.2DS) in series of large, independent idiopathic PD case-control studies. Background: PD…Risk prediction modeling in Parkinson’s disease using genetic and environmental/lifestyle factors
Objective: To assess the potential of Parkinson's disease (PD) risk prediction using a comprehensive list of genetic and environmental/lifestyle factors associated with PD. Background: Parkinson's…Premotor phase of PD in two GBA mutation carriers
Objective: To identify premotor phase of Parkinson's disease (PD) in obligate GBA heterozygous carriers. Background: GBA mutation carriers are in greater risk of developing PD.…A novel haplotype in LRRK2 is associated with risk for multiple system atrophy in the Korean population
Objective: To (1) validate past results by investigating the role of LRRK2 exonic variants in an equivalent Korean series with MSA and (2) identify novel…
