Translation initiator EIF4G1 mutations in familial Parkinson disease

Marie-Christine Chartier-Harlin, +59 more
TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis of a multi-incident family with autosomal-dominant parkinsonism has implicated a locus on chromosomal region 3q26-q28 and highlighted a convergent pathway for monogenic, toxin and perhaps virally-induced Parkinson disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

PINK1 (PARK6) associated Parkinson disease in Ireland

TL;DR: Assessment of the prevalence of PINK1 gene mutations in 290 well-characterized early- and late-onset PD patients from Ireland indicates that Pink1 mutations are a rare cause of PD in Ireland.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional promoter region polymorphism of the proinflammatory chemokine IL-8 gene associates with Parkinson's disease in the Irish

TL;DR: The single nucleotide polymorphism in the chemokine IL-8 gene was observed to associate with PD and appeared to be independent of age at onset, which supports the theory that the proinflammatory response in the brains of patients with PD plays a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Familial genes in sporadic disease: Common variants of α-synuclein gene associate with Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: An association of common SNCA polymorphisms with disease susceptibility in a series of Irish PD patients is identified and it is now crucial to identify the susceptibility allele and elucidate its functionality which may generate a therapeutic target for PD.
