The interplay between environmental and genetic factors in Parkinson's disease susceptibility: The evidence for pesticides
(2013)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by dopaminergic neuron loss in the substantia nigra. Several genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. ...
The protective effect of LRRK2 p.R1398H on risk of Parkinson's disease is independent of MAPT and SNCA variants
(2014)
The best validated susceptibility variants for Parkinson's disease are located in the α-synuclein (SNCA) and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) genes. Recently, a protective p.N551K-R1398H-K1423K haplotype in the ...
IL-1RN and IL-1B gene polymorphisms and cerebral hemorrhagic events after traumatic brain injury
(2005)
Objective: To investigate the association of (variable number tandem repeat) interleukin (IL) 1RN and (-511) IL-1B gene polymorphisms with brain hemorrhagic events after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: Data from ...
Angiotensin-converting enzyme tag single nucleotide polymorphisms in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage
(2011)
Objectives Studies investigating the association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have provided conflicting results. Moreover, ...
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 ...
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 large-scale genetic association study to evaluate the contribution of Omi/HtrA2 (PARK13) to Parkinson's disease
(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 ...
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 ...
A multi-centre clinico-genetic analysis of the VPS35 gene in Parkinson disease indicates reduced penetrance for disease-associated variants
(2012)
Background Two recent studies identified a mutation (p.Asp620Asn) in the vacuolar protein sorting 35 gene as a cause for an autosomal dominant form of Parkinson disease. Although additional missense variants were described, ...
