Karen M. Powers,Denise M. Kay,Stewart A. Factor,Stewart A. Factor,Cyrus P. Zabetian,Donald S. Higgins,Ali Samii,John G. Nutt,Alida Griffith,Berta C. Leis,John W. Roberts,Erica Martinez,Jennifer S. Montimurro,Harvey Checkoway,Haydeh Payami +14 more
TL;DR: Smoking and coffee exhibited significant inverse risk trends with increasing cumulative exposures, suggesting dose–response relations, and persons who were at the highest exposure strata for smoking and coffee and used NSAIDs had an estimated 87% reduction in risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Edwards,Kwang-Soo Kim,Cyrus P. Zabetian,Cyrus P. Zabetian +33 more
TL;DR: The findings implicate RAB39B, an essential regulator of vesicular-trafficking, in clinically typical PD, in multi-incident U.S. kindred with Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Prophylactic treatment of episodic cluster headache with intravenous bolus of methylprednisolone
Pablo Mir,Alberca R,A Navarro,Enrique Montes,Erica Martinez,Emilio Franco,A Cayuela,Pilar Lozano +7 more
TL;DR: The attacks were significantly less frequent in the active phases treated with methylprednisolone boluses than those treated with other medications (p<0.05), which seems to be more effective than the usual prophylactic treatments for episodic cluster headache.
Journal ArticleDOI
The discovery of LRRK2 p.R1441S, a novel mutation for Parkinson's disease, adds to the complexity of a mutational hotspot
Ignacio F. Mata,Ignacio F. Mata,Marie Y. Davis,Marie Y. Davis,Alexis N. Lopez,Michael O. Dorschner,Erica Martinez,Dora Yearout,Dora Yearout,Brenna Cholerton,Brenna Cholerton,Shu Ching Hu,Shu Ching Hu,Karen L. Edwards,Thomas D. Bird,Thomas D. Bird,Cyrus P. Zabetian,Cyrus P. Zabetian +17 more
TL;DR: A new missense mutation in the LRRK2 gene, c.4321C>A (p.R1441S), represents the fourth pathogenic mutation observed within codon 1441 and its discovery adds to the remarkable complexity of a mutational hotspot within the ROC domain of the L RRK2 protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common variation in the LRRK2 gene is a risk factor for Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Common variants in the LRRK2 gene influence the risk of Parkinson's disease in Asians, but whether the same is true in European‐derived populations is less clear.
