Segregation of a missense mutation in the amyloid precursor protein gene with familial alzheimers-disease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in this kindred, which shows linkage to chromosome 21 markers, there is a point mutation in the APP gene that causes an amino-acid substitution close to the carboxy terminus of the β-amyloid peptide.

Unbiased screen for interactors of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 supports a common pathway for sporadic and familial Parkinson disease

Alexandra Beilina, +168 more
TL;DR: It is shown, using the specific example of Parkinson disease, that identification of protein–protein interactions can help determine the most likely candidate for several GWAS loci, and proposed that three different genes for PD have a common biological function.

A Two-Stage Meta-Analysis Identifies Several New Loci for Parkinson's Disease

Vincent Plagnol, +106 more
- 30 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: Using a dataset of post-mortem brain samples assayed for gene expression and methylation, methylation and expression changes associated with PD risk variants in PARK16/1q32, GPNMB/7p15, and STX1B/16p11 loci are identified, suggesting potential molecular mechanisms and candidate genes at these risk loci.
