Parkinson’s disease in GTP cyclohydrolase 1 mutation carriers

TL;DR: Mutations in the gene encoding the dopamine-synthetic enzyme GTP cyclohydrolase-1 (GCH1) cause DOPA-responsive dystonia and are associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease in both DRD pedigrees and in patients with Parkinson's Disease but without a family history of DRD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced dopamine transporter density in the ventral striatum of patients with Parkinson's disease and pathological gambling

TL;DR: The post-hoc analysis displayed a reduced tracer binding in the ventral striatum of PD patients with PG compared to PD controls, possibly reflecting either a reduction of mesolimbic projections or, alternatively, a lower membrane DAT expression on presynaptic terminals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Abnormalities Underlying Pathological Gambling in Parkinson Disease

TL;DR: It is found that PD patients with PG have abnormal resting state dysfunction of the mesocorticolimbic network possibly associated with a drug-induced overstimulation of relatively preserved reward-related neuronal systems, which supports the concept that PG is a "behavioral" addictive disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuromelanin Imaging and Dopaminergic Loss in Parkinson's Disease

TL;DR: Neuromelanin-MRI can be used for quantifying substantia nigra pathology in PD where it closely correlates with dopaminergic striatal innervation loss, and the best predictor of DAT reduction was the volume of the substantia Nigra.
