Multicenter Analysis of Glucocerebrosidase Mutations in Parkinson's Disease

Ellen Sidransky, +75 more
TL;DR: Data collected demonstrate that there is a strong association between GBA mutations and Parkinson's disease, and those with a GBA mutation presented earlier with the disease, were more likely to have affected relatives, and were morelikely to have atypical clinical manifestations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Multicenter Study of Glucocerebrosidase Mutations in Dementia With Lewy Bodies

Mike A. Nalls, +68 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found a significant association between GBA1 mutation carrier status and DLB, with an odds ratio of 8.28 (95% CI, 4.78-14.88).
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex differences in clinical and genetic determinants of levodopa peak-dose dyskinesias in Parkinson disease: an exploratory study.

TL;DR: Risk factors for PDD, both clinical and genetic, act in different ways for men and women, and a female sex-related effect for the risk of PDD may be so strong that it overcomes any protective effect due to genetic factors.

Sex Differences in Clinical and Genetic Determinants of Levodopa Peak-Dose Dyskinesias in Parkinson Disease

TL;DR: In this article, the CA dinucleotide short tandem repeat (CAn-STR) polymorphism located in the dopamine receptor D2 gene (DRD2) was found to have a strong effect on the appearance of PDD when the multivariate analysis was performed in men.
