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 ...
    • Independent and joint effects of the MAPT and SNCA genes in Parkinson disease

M.; Vilariño-Güell, C.; Wirdefeldt, K.; Wszolek, Z. K.; Xiromerisiou, G.; Maraganore, D. M.; Farrer, M. J. (2011)
      Objective: We studied the independent and joint effects of the genes encoding alpha-synuclein (SNCA) and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) in Parkinson disease (PD) as part of a large meta-analysis of individual ...
    • A large-scale genetic association study to evaluate the contribution of Omi/HtrA2 (PARK13) to Parkinson's disease 

      Krüger, R.; Sharma, M.; Riess, O.; Gasser, T.; Van Broeckhoven, C.; Theuns, J.; Aasly, J.; Annesi, G.; Bentivoglio, A. R.; Brice, A.; Djarmati, A.; Elbaz, A.; Farrer, M.; Ferrarese, C.; Gibson, J. M.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Hattori, N.; Ioannidis, J. P. A.; Jasinska-Myga, B.; Klein, C.; Lambert, J. C.; Lesage, S.; Lin, J. J.; Lynch, T.; Mellick, G. D.; de Nigris, F.; Opala, G.; Prigione, A.; Quattrone, A.; Ross, O. A.; Satake, W.; Silburn, P. A.; Tan, E. K.; Toda, T.; Tomiyama, H.; Wirdefeldt, K.; Wszolek, Z.; Xiromerisiou, G.; Maraganore, D. M. (2011)
      High-profile studies have provided conflicting results regarding the involvement of the Omi/HtrA2 gene in Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility. Therefore, we performed a large-scale analysis of the association of common ...
    • Non-replication of association for six polymorphisms from meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of Parkinson's disease: Large-scale collaborative study 

      Evangelou, E.; Maraganore, D. M.; Annesi, G.; Brighina, L.; Brice, A.; Elbaz, A.; Ferrarese, C.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Krueger, R.; Lambert, J. C.; Lesage, S.; Markopoulou, K.; Mellick, G. D.; Meeus, B.; Pedersen, N. L.; Quattrone, A.; Van Broeckhoven, C.; Sharma, M.; Silburn, P. A.; Tan, E. K.; Wirdefeldt, K.; Ioannidis, J. P. A. (2010)
      Early genome-wide association (GWA) studies on Parkinson's disease (PD) have not been able to yield conclusive, replicable signals of association, perhaps due to limited sample size. We aimed to investigate whether association ...
