O1-7-4-1Genome-wide association study identifies common variants at four loci as genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease

TLDR
Clinical and genetic information of 5 Japanese patients with Bardet-Biedl syndrome is summarized and it is found that rare liver fibrosis was detected in two patients, while only two patients had renal dysfunction, thought to be a universal symptom.

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.

Large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association data identifies six new risk loci for Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of Parkinson's disease genome-wide association studies using a common set of 7,893,274 variants across 13,708 cases and 95,282 controls.

100 years of Lewy pathology

TL;DR: The relevance of Lewy's discovery 100 years ago for the current understanding of PD and related disorders is reviewed.

Etiology and Pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease

TL;DR: Genetic factors clearly contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease, and many studies have shed light on their implication in, not only monogenic, but also sporadic forms of PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genetics of Alzheimer Disease: Back to the Future

TL;DR: It seems likely that much of the heritability of AD continues to remain unexplained by the currently known disease genes, and much of this "missing heritability" may be accounted for by rare sequence variants, which, owing to recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies, can be assessed in unprecedented detail.
