Restless legs syndrome does not affect 3-year mortality in hemodialysis patients
(2015)
Objective: Uremic restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been related to an enhanced mortality of hemodialysis (HD) patients. In the general population studies of this association have yielded inconsistent results. The aim of ...
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 ...
Population-specific Frequencies for LRRK2 Susceptibility Variants in the Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease (GEO-PD) Consortium
(2013)
BackgroundVariants within the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 gene are recognized as the most frequent genetic cause of Parkinson's disease. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 variation related to disease susceptibility displays ...
A new stop codon mutation (Y52X) in the myophosphorylase gene in a Greek patient with McArdle's disease
(2002)
We identified a novel stop codon mutation in the myophosphorylase gene in a Greek patient with typical symptoms of McArdle's disease. This is the first genetic study of myophosphorylase deficiency in a Greek family, showing ...
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 ...
Molecular genetic study of myophosphorylase deficiency (McArdle's disease) in two Yemenite-Jewish families
(2002)
Using direct sequencing and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, we identified two novel mutations in two unrelated Yemenite-Jewish families with typical symptoms of McArdle's disease. In one family, both ...
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 ...
