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

De novo mutations in epileptic encephalopathies

Andrew S. Allen, +72 more
- 12 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a screen for de novo mutations in patients with two classical epileptic encephalopathies: infantile spasms and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (n = 115) was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkinson Disease in Twins: An Etiologic Study

TL;DR: The similarity in concordance overall indicates that genetic factors do not play a major role in causing typical Parkinson disease, and no genetic component is evident when the disease begins after age 50 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergistic Effects of Traumatic Head Injury and Apolipoprotein-epsilon4 in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: The data imply that the biological effects of head injury may increase the risk of AD, but only through a synergistic relationship with apolipoprotein-epsilon4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in LGI1 cause autosomal-dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features.

TL;DR: Discovery of LGI1 as a cause of ADPEAF suggests new avenues for research on pathogenic mechanisms of idiopathic epilepsies and shows that the expression pattern of mouse Lgi1 is predominantly neuronal and is consistent with the anatomic regions involved in temporal lobe epilepsy.
