Assessment of Parkinson's disease risk loci in Greece
(2014)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been shown to be a powerful approach to identify risk loci for neurodegenerative diseases. Recent GWAS in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been successful in identifying numerous ...
Association of tau haplotype-tagging polymorphisms with Parkinson's disease in diverse ethnic Parkinson's disease cohorts
(2006)
Background: The overlap in the clinical and pathological features of tauopathies and synucleinopathies raises the possibility that the tau protein may be important in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. Several MAPT ...
AQP4 Tag Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury
(2014)
Accumulating evidence suggests that the extent of brain injury and the clinical outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are modulated, to some degree, by genetic variants. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the predominant water ...
Alpha-1 antichymotrypsin gene signal peptide A/T polymorphism and primary intracerebral hemorrhage
(2008)
Background/Aims: Alpha-1 antichymotrypsin (ACT), a serine proteinase inhibitor, has been implicated in vascular pathology. The TT genotype of the ACT signal peptide A/T polymorphism has been reported to confer susceptibility ...
A quantitative evaluation of damage in normal appearing white matter in patients with multiple sclerosis using diffusion tensor MR imaging at 3 T
(2015)
The white matter (WM) of the brain is damaged in multiple sclerosis (MS), even in areas that appear normal on standard MR imaging. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the damage of normal appearing white matter (NAWM) ...
The human prion gene M129V polymorphism is not associated with idiopathic Parkinson's disease in three distinct populations
(2006)
Coexistence of prion disease and idiopathic Parkinson's disease (TPD) has been previously described. It remains unclear whether this relationship may reflect the high incidence of IPD or whether both prion and IPD share ...
Current trends in the management of uremic restless legs syndrome: A systematic review on aspects related to quality of life, cardiovascular mortality and survival
(2015)
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects almost one out of three end-stage renal disease patients. This review assesses the current treatment options for uremic RLS and the potential benefits of those treatments on quality of ...
