Heterozygosity for a mutation in the parkin gene leads to later onset Parkinson disease

Tatiana Foroud, +98 more
- 11 Mar 2003 - 
TL;DR: Mutations in the parkin gene occur among individuals with PD with an older age at onset (≥60 years) who have a positive family history of the disease, and the clinical findings of parkin-positive individuals are remarkably similar to those without mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Significant Linkage of Parkinson Disease to Chromosome 2q36-37

Nathan Pankratz, +99 more
TL;DR: This work has expanded the sample to include 150 families meeting the strictest diagnostic definition of verified PD, and performs analyses using only those pedigrees with the strongest family history of PD, which strongly suggests that variation in a gene on chromosome 2q36-37 contributes to PD susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term outcome of early versus delayed rasagiline treatment in early Parkinson's disease.

Robert A. Hauser, +137 more
- 15 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: Compared to delayed start, early initiation of rasagiline provided long‐term clinical benefit, even in the face of treatment with other dopaminergic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

R1514Q substitution in Lrrk2 is not a pathogenic Parkinson's disease mutation

William C. Nichols, +207 more
- 15 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: Data suggest that the R1514Q variant is not a pathogenic LRRK2 mutation, and it is imperative that the causative nature of any newly identified genetic variant be determined before it is included in any panel for diagnostic testing.
