GCH1 genetic variation as a prognostic factor in Parkinson disease across populations

TL;DR

GCH1 pathogenic variants were associated with a clinically distinct phenotype characterized by earlier disease onset and slower progression of motor complications, suggesting that GCH1 genetic variants may serve as genetic biomarkers for patient stratification and prognosis in PD.

Genomic Landscape of Early-Onset and Familial Latin American Parkinson’s Patients

By expanding the reported spectrum of disease-associated variants in a Latin American population, this work identified previously unreported or underrepresented variants that would likely be missed by array-based or targeted screening approaches and contribute to the characterization of EOPD and familial PD in Latin Am...

Rare Variants May Influence Disease Risk and Clinical Features in Sporadic Late-Onset Chinese Parkinson’s Disease Patients

Heritability in Parkinson’s disease (PD) may be driven by rare variants (RVs), but genetic data for Chinese cohorts remain limited. We investigated the relationship between RVs and the risk and phenotype of PD by performing targeted exome sequencing of 29 PD candidate genes in 311 late-onset, sporadic Chinese PD patien...

No evidence of association between PGK1 variants and Parkinsons disease

Background An X-linked levodopa-responsive parkinsonism-epilepsy syndrome has been associated with PGK1, and the gene lies within the previously suspected PD locus PARK12. Objective To examine the association of common and rare PGK1 variants with PD. Methods We analyzed common and rare variants from Accelerated Medicin...
