The role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory use in symptomatic and asymptomatic LRRK2 G2019S mutation carriers
Objective: The purpose of the current study is to determine if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) among LRRK2 G2019S…Elevated SNCA expression in CD45+ peripheral blood cells in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies
Objective: To examine SNCA mRNA levels in CD45+ peripheral blood cells in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), Parkinson's disease (PD) and individuals without…Young-onset Parkinson’s disease in two siblings with compound heterozygosity for two rare parkin mutations
Objective: We report the clinical and genetic findings of two siblings who presented with early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) and had two distinct parkin mutations, a…Familial Parkinson’s disease in Ireland
Objective: To study the phenotype and subtypes of familial Parkinson's disease (PD) in Ireland, establish the genetic background in a cohort of Irish PD patients…Inhibition of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) rescues dopaminergic neurons in pink1-/- zebrafish
Objective: To further elucidate the interaction between mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and PINK1 deficiency in a zebrafish (Danio rerio) model of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Loss…Clinical presentations of 2 Parkin / lysosomal storage disorder heterozygotes with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: (1) To identify the genetic basis of young-onset or familial Parkinson's disease in South Africa; (2) to clinically characterize the phenotypes observed. Background: Mutations…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…
