TLDR
The cloning of a novel gene that contains missense mutations segregating with PARK8-linked PD in five families from England and Spain is described and this protein is named dardarin, derived from the Basque word dardara, meaning tremor, because of the tremor observed in PD.

Genome-wide association study reveals genetic risk underlying Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an unequivocal role for common genetic variants in the etiology of typical PD and population-specific genetic heterogeneity in this disease is suggested, and supporting evidence that common variation around LRRK2 modulates risk for PD is provided.

Genomewide Association Studies and Assessment of the Risk of Disease

TL;DR: The design of genomewide association studies is described and the extent to which the data they provide are useful in predicting the risk of disease is considered.

Initial genome sequencing and analysis of multiple myeloma

TL;DR: The massively parallel sequencing of 38 tumour genomes and their comparison to matched normal DNAs indicates that cancer genome sequencing of large collections of samples will yield new insights into cancer not anticipated by existing knowledge.

The Protein Kinase Complement of the Human Genome

TL;DR: The protein kinase complement of the human genome is catalogued using public and proprietary genomic, complementary DNA, and expressed sequence tag sequences to provide a starting point for comprehensive analysis of protein phosphorylation in normal and disease states and a detailed view of the current state of human genome analysis through a focus on one large gene family.

Mutation in the α-synuclein gene identified in families with Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: A mutation was identified in the α-synuclein gene, which codes for a presynaptic protein thought to be involved in neuronal plasticity, in the Italian kindred and in three unrelated families of Greek origin with autosomal dominant inheritance for the PD phenotype.

A novel gene containing a trinucleotide repeat that is expanded and unstable on Huntington's disease chromosomes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used haplotype analysis of linkage disequilibrium to spotlight a small segment of 4p16.3 as the likely location of the defect, which is expanded and unstable on HD chromosomes.

Mutations in the parkin gene cause autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism

TL;DR: Mutations in the newly identified gene appear to be responsible for the pathogenesis of Autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism, and the protein product is named ‘Parkin’.
