Effect of deep brain stimulation on clinical outcome in Parkinson’s disease patients with different genetic status
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the genetic status on the clinical outcome of PD patients undergoing DBS. Background:…Resistance to Parkinson’s disease among LRRK2 mutation carriers is associated with higher plasma levels of urate but not its purine precursors
Objective: To determine whether plasma purine concentrations differ between people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and matched controls among carriers of pathogenic mutations in Leucine-Rich Repeat…Nurr1 gene: A new research target for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of our study is to determine if Nurr1 gene, a transcription factor essential for dopamine (DA) neuron development and survival, is a…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…Genome-wide association studies of motor and cognitive progression in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Motor and cognitive progression in Parkinson’s is heterogeneous. Our aim is to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with disease progression. Background: Rare genetic…
