• Clinical phenotype in patients with α-synuclein Parkinson's disease living in Greece in comparison with patients with sporadic Parkinson's disease 

      Papapetropoulos, S.; Paschalis, C.; Athanassiadou, A.; Papadimitriou, A.; Ellul, J.; Polymeropoulos, M. H.; Papapetropoulos, Th (2001)
      Objective - An Ala53Thr mutation of the α-synuclein gene has been recently identified as a rare cause of autosomal Parkinson's disease (PD). The clinical characteristics of 15 patients with PD living in Greece with the ...
    • Collaborative analysis of alpha-synuclein gene promoter variability and Parkinson disease 

      Maraganore, D. M.; de Andrade, M.; Elbaz, A.; Farrer, M. J.; Ioannidis, J. P. A.; Kruger, R.; Rocca, W. A.; Schneider, N. K.; Lesnick, T. G.; Lincoln, S. J.; Hulihan, M. M.; Aasly, J. O.; Ashizawa, T.; Chartier-Harlin, M. C.; Checkoway, H.; Ferrarese, C.; Hadjigeorgiou, G.; Hattori, N.; Kawakami, H.; Lambert, J. C.; Lynch, T.; Mellick, G. D.; Papapetropoulos, S.; Parsian, A.; Quattrone, A.; Riess, O.; Tan, E. K.; Van Broeckhoven, C.; Consortium, Geo-Pd (2006)
      Context Identification and replication of susceptibility genes for Parkinson disease at the population level have been hampered by small studies with potential biases. alpha-Synuclein (SNCA) has been one of the most promising ...
    • Gain-of-function variant in GLUD2 glutamate dehydrogenase modifies Parkinson's disease onset 

      Plaitakis, A.; Latsoudis, H.; Kanavouras, K.; Ritz, B.; Bronstein, J. M.; Skoula, I.; Mastorodemos, V.; Papapetropoulos, S.; Borompokas, N.; Zaganas, I.; Xiromerisiou, G.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Spanaki, C. (2010)
      Parkinson's disease (PD), a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons and their terminations in the basal ganglia, is thought to be related to genetic and environmental ...
    • Glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms and onset age in alpha-synuclein A53T mutant Parkinson's disease 

      Golbe, L. I.; Di Iorio, G.; Markopoulou, K.; Athanassiadou, A.; Papapetropoulos, S.; Watts, R. L.; Vance, J. M.; Bonifati, V.; Williams, T. A.; Spychala, J. R.; Stenroos, E. S.; Johnson, W. G. (2007)
      Monogenic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) provide an opportunity to examine mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) has detoxification and antioxidative functions. To screen genetic ...
