Genetic susceptibility to primary intracerebral haemorrhage
(2009)
Primary intracerebral haemorrhage (PICH) originates from the spontaneous rupture of cerebral arteries as a result of chronic degenerative alterations. Although the aetiology of PICH has not been fully elucidated, it may ...
Testing association between LRRK2 and Parkinson's disease and investigating linkage disequilibrium
(2006)
Background: We and others recently identified the gene underlying PARK8 linked Parkinson's disease (PD). This gene, LRRK2, contains mutations that cause an autosomal dominant PD, including a mutation, G2019S, which is the ...
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 ...
Lack of evidence for a genetic association between FGF20 and Parkinson's disease in Finnish and Greek patients
(2005)
Background: Fibroblast growth factor 20 (FGF20) is a neurotrophic factor preferentially expressed in the substantia nigra of rat brain and could be involved in dopaminergic neurons survival. Recently, a strong genetic ...
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 ...
Genetic association studies in patients with traumatic brain injury
(2010)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a major cause of mortality and disability worldwide, especially among young individuals. It is estimated that despite all the recent advances in the management of TBI, approximately ...
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 ...
