Association between AKT1 gene and Parkinson's disease: A protective haplotype
(2008)
Variation in AKT1 has been associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disease and type 11 diabetes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of variability within AKT1 as a risk factor for Parkinson's ...
Autoantibodies to alpha-synuclein in inherited Parkinson's disease
(2007)
Neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) is accompanied by a local immune reaction in the affected brain regions. It is well established that alpha-synuclein is directly implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. Development ...
Screening for SNCA and LRRK2 mutations in Greek sporadic and autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease: identification of two novel LRRK2 variants
(2007)
Mutations in SNCA and LRRK2 genes, encoding alpha-synuclein and leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, respectively, cause autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (AdPD). The LRRK2 G2019S (c.6055G > A) and R1441G (c.4321C > G) ...
BDNF tagging polymorphisms and haplotype analysis in sporadic Parkinson's disease in diverse ethnic groups
(2007)
Experimental and clinical data suggest that genetic variations in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene may affect risk for Parkinson's disease (PD). We performed a case-control association analysis of BDNF in three ...
Low RLS prevalence and awareness in central Greece: an epidemiological survey
(2007)
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder with a general population prevalence of 3-10%. A single, previous epidemiological study performed in southeast Europe reported the lowest prevalence rate amongst ...
Absence of aprataxin gene mutations in a Greek cohort with sporadic early onset ataxia and normal GAA triplets in frataxin gene
(2010)
Phenotype of patients with the aprataxin gene mutation varies and according to previous studies, screening of aprataxin gene could be useful, once frataxin gene mutation is excluded in patients with normal GAA expansion ...
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 ...
