      Goldknopf, I. L.; Bryson, J. K.; Strelets, I.; Quintero, S.; Sheta, E. A.; Mosqueda, M.; Park, H. R.; Appel, S. H.; Shill, H.; Sabbagh, M.; Chase, B.; Kaldjian, E.; Markopoulou, K. (2009)
      Blood serum was used to identify protein biomarkers for diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) using analytically validated quantitative 2D-gel electrophoresis, and single variable and multivariate statistics. Using banked ...
    • Association of tau haplotype-tagging polymorphisms with Parkinson's disease in diverse ethnic Parkinson's disease cohorts 

      Fung, H. C.; Xiromerisiou, G.; Gibbs, J. R.; Wu, Y. R.; Eerola, J.; Gourbali, V.; Hellstrom, O.; Chen, C. M.; Duckworth, J.; Papadimitriou, A.; Tienari, P. J.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Hardy, J.; Singleton, A. B. (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 ...
    • Evidence of an association between the scavenger receptor class B member 2 gene and Parkinson's disease 

      Michelakakis, H.; Xiromerisiou, G.; Dardiotis, E.; Bozi, M.; Vassilatis, D.; Kountra, P. M.; Patramani, G.; Moraitou, M.; Papadimitriou, D.; Stamboulis, E.; Stefanis, L.; Zintzaras, E.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M. (2012)
      Lysosomal protein 2 (LIMP2), the product of the scavenger receptor class B member 2 (SCARB2) gene, is a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane protein that is the mannose-6-phosphateindependent receptor for glucocerebrosidase ...
    • How genetics research in Parkinson's disease is enhancing understanding of the common idiopathic forms of the disease 

      Cookson, M. R.; Xiromerisiou, G.; Singleton, A. (2005)
      Purpose of review Rapid progress in genetics has meant that there are now five genes identified for 'Parkinson's disease'. The detailed phenotypes vary, but generally the dominant genes cause a Lewy body disease spectrum ...
    • The interplay between environmental and genetic factors in Parkinson's disease susceptibility: The evidence for pesticides 

      Dardiotis, E.; Xiromerisiou, G.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Tsatsakis, A. M.; Wilks, M. F.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M. (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. ...
    • Population-specific Frequencies for LRRK2 Susceptibility Variants in the Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease (GEO-PD) Consortium 

      Heckman, M. G.; Soto-Ortolaza, A. I.; Aasly, J. O.; Abahuni, N.; Annesi, G.; Bacon, J. A.; Bardien, S.; Bozi, M.; Brice, A.; Brighina, L.; Carr, J.; Chartier-Harlin, M.

A.; Genetic Epidemiology, Parkinsons (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 ...
