Mutated α-synuclein gene in two greek kindreds with familial pd: Incomplete penetrance?
(1999)
The G209A mutation in the α-synuclein gene has been associated with autosomal dominant PD (ADPD) in a family from Contursi, Italy, and three apparently unrelated Greek families. Several groups around the world failed to ...
MEIS1 and BTBD9: Genetic association with restless leg syndrome in end stage renal disease
(2011)
Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sleep related movement disorder that occurs both in an idiopathic form and in symptomatic varieties. RLS is a frequent and distressing comorbidity in end stage renal disease ...
Plasma homocysteine and genetic variants of homocysteine metabolism enzymes in patients from central greece with primary open-angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma
(2014)
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate plasma homocysteine levels and polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes in the metabolic pathway of homocysteine in association with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) ...
Validation of the Augmentation Severity Rating Scale (ASRS): A multicentric, prospective study with levodopa on restless legs syndrome
(2007)
Background: Augmentation is the main complication during long-term dopaminergic treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and reflects an overall increase in RLS severity. Its severity varies considerably from a minor ...
Role of endoscopic third ventriculostomy in treatment of selected patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus
(2012)
Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the results of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in the management of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH). Methods: Our prospective study ...
Brain MRI and proton MRS findings in infants and children with respiratory chain defects
(2005)
Objective: The aim of this study is to describe neuroimaging patterns in children with respiratory chain (RC) defects using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and to assess ...
Suggestive evidence for linkage for restless legs syndrome on chromosome 19p13
(2008)
Five loci for restless legs syndrome (RLS) on chromosomes 12q, 14q, 9p, 2q, and 20p (RLS1-RLS5) have been mapped in RLS families, with a recessive in the first and autosomal-dominant mode of inheritance in the latter cases. ...
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 ...
Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme tag single nucleotide polymorphisms on the outcome of patients with traumatic brain injury
(2015)
Background Genetic variants appear to influence, at least to some degree, the extent of brain injury and the clinical outcome of patients who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Angiotensin-converting enzyme ...
Non-replication of association for six polymorphisms from meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of Parkinson's disease: Large-scale collaborative study
(2010)
Early genome-wide association (GWA) studies on Parkinson's disease (PD) have not been able to yield conclusive, replicable signals of association, perhaps due to limited sample size. We aimed to investigate whether association ...
