(2017)
      A recent study MacLeod et al. has shown that an interaction between variants at the LRRK2 and PARK16 loci influences risk of development of Parkinson's disease (PD). Our study examines the proposed interaction between LRRK2 ...
    • Genetic and molecular pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease 

      Agorogiannis, E. I.; Agorogiannis, G. I.; Papadimitriou, A.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M. (2006)
      Parkinson's disease (PD), a common progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system, affects about 1% of adults aged older than 60 years. PD is characterized by rigidity, tremor, postural instability and ...
    • Genetic risk factors for essential tremor: A review 

      Siokas V., Aloizou A.-M., Tsouris Z., Liampas I., Aslanidou P., Dastamani M., Brotis A.G., Bogdanos D.P., Hadjigeorgiou G.M., Dardiotis E. (2020)
      Highlights In the current review, we thoroughly reviewed 74 identified articles regarding genes and genetic loci that confer susceptibility to ET. Over 50 genes/genetic loci have been examined for possible association with ...
