Glucocerebrosidase Activity is Reduced in Cryopreserved Parkinson's Disease Patient Monocytes and Inversely Correlates with Motor Severity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured glucocerebrosidase activity in cryopreserved peripheral blood monocytes from 30 Parkinson's disease patients and 30 matched controls and identified any clinical correlation with disease severity.

Genetic influences on schizophrenia and subcortical brain volumes: Large-scale proof of concept

Barbara Franke, +562 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrated results from common variant studies of schizophrenia (33,636 cases, 43,008 controls) and volumes of several (mainly subcortical) brain structures (11,840 subjects).

Age-dependent genetic variants associated with longitudinal changes in brain structure across the lifespan

Rachel M. Brouwer, +255 more
- 08 Nov 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified common genetic variants that affect rates of brain growth or atrophy, in the first genome-wide association meta-analysis of changes in brain morphology across the lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of 2-desamino-2-methyl-10-propagyl-5,8-dideazafolic acid cytotoxicity by 5,10-dideazatetrahydrofolate in L1210 cells with decrease in DNA fragmentation and deoxyadenosine triphosphate pools.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that inhibitory effects on de novo purine biosynthesis by inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase may limit cytotoxicity is supported, and results indicate that a rise in dATP pools may be an important cytotoxic signal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of PSEN1 mutations on MAPT methylation in early-onset Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: A novel effect of PSEN1 on MAPT methylation is indicated, and a mutation-specific effect of the PSen1 Δex9 mutation is suggested, suggesting a decreased ability to modulate endogenous MAPT gene methylation.
