Journal ArticleDOI

Dissection of the phenotypic and genotypic associations with nicotinic dependence

TL;DR: CPD is an important simple measure that captures in part the genetic associations of CHRNA5 and nicotine dependence, even when other more comprehensive measures of smoking behaviors are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association studies using novel polymorphisms in BACE1 and BACE2.

TL;DR: Genotyping a large cohort of AD cases and controls has shown no association between AD and the intronic polymorphism in BACE2 while there was a weak association between the BACE1 polymorphisms in exon 5 and AD in those carrying the APOE &epsis;4 allele.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkinson disease is not associated with C9ORF72 repeat expansions.

TL;DR: Repeat-primed polymerase chain reaction was used to investigate the frequency of C9ORF72 repeat expansions in a cohort of patients with PD and control subjects, and no expansions were found among patients, suggesting that C9orF72 expansions are not a common cause of PD.
