Spinocerebellar ataxia 17: First observation in Russia
Objective: To report the detection of the first case of spinocerebellar ataxia 17 in Russian population. Background: Autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (AD SCAs) are clinically…Parkinson’s disease-associated Miro1 mutants cause mitochondrial dysfunction
Objective: In the present study we dissected the role of the first PD-associated mutations in RhoT1, the gene encoding for Miro1. Background: Commonly involved pathogenic…Characterisation of the A30P mutation in alpha-synuclein gene in patient-derived cellular model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In this study, we aim to generate and characterise patient-derived midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDANs) of the A30P Parkinson's disease (PD) familial case. Our goal…Familial Parkinson’s disease in the Province of Quebec
Objective: We describe clinical, genealogic and genetic studies in several families with multi-incident Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD is a multifactorial trait for which components…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…Hereditary atypical parkinsonism with novel mutation of the VPS35 and FBXO7 genes
Objective: To determine the genetic background of hereditary atypical parkinsonism in an isolated region of the Czech Republic. Background: A higher prevalence of parkinsonism was…Investigation into the genetic etiology in South African Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To investigate the genetic etiology in a group of South Africa Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: The genetic etiology of PD is complex and…A clinico-genetical study in a large cohort of patients with spastic paraplegia type 4 (SPG4)
Objective: This study includes the evaluation of a comprehensive spectrum of neurological features and the mutational screening of the SPG4/SPAST gene in patients with hereditary…No RAB39B gene mutations in Chinese familial Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To validate the susceptibility to familial PD patients caused by RAB39B in Chinese Han population. Background: Recently, RAB39B mutations c.503C>A and c.574G>A have been…Preliminary results for a study on quality of life in Huntington’s disease patients and their caregivers in Peru
Objective: To quantitatively and qualitatively explore the determinants of quality of life (QOL) in Huntington's Disease (HD) patients and their caregivers in Peru. Background: HD…
