Familial aggregation of Parkinson's disease in Iceland
Sigurlaug Sveinbjörnsdóttir,Andrew A. Hicks,Thorvaldur Jonsson,H. Petursson,Guğmundsson G,Mike Frigge,Augustine Kong,Gulcher,Kari Stefansson +8 more
TL;DR: Patients with Parkinson's disease, including a subgroup of 560 patients with late-onset disease (onset at >50 years of age), were significantly more related to each other than were subjects in matched groups of controls, and this relatedness extended beyond the nuclear family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gulcher,Palmi V. Jonsson,Augustine Kong,Augustine Kong,Kristleifur Kristjansson,Mike Frigge,Mike Frigge,Ari Karason,Einarsdóttir Ie,Hreinn Stefansson,Anna S. Einarsdóttir,Sigurthoardóttir S,Baldursson S,Soley Bjornsdottir,Soffia M. Hrafnkelsdottir,Finnbogi Jakobsson,Benedickz J,Kari Stefansson +17 more
TL;DR: The scan for FET genes in 16 Icelandic families with 75 affected individuals revealed one locus on chromosome 3q13 to which FET mapped with genome-wide significance when the data were analysed either parametrically or non-parametrically, assuming an autosomal dominant model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genome-wide scan for preeclampsia in the Netherlands.
Ama Lachmeijer,Reynir Arngrímsson,EJ Bastiaans,Mike Frigge,Gerard Pals,Sigrun Sigurdardottir,Hreinn Stefansson,Birgir Palsson,Dan L. Nicolae,Dan L. Nicolae,Augustine Kong,Augustine Kong,Jan G. Aarnoudse,Gulcher,G.A. Dekker,L.P. ten Kate,Kari Stefansson +16 more
TL;DR: Results from the Dutch genome-wide scan indicate that HELLP syndrome might have a different genetic background than preeclampsia, and two peaks with suggestive evidence for linkage in the non-HELLP families are revealed.
