TLDR
Polymorphisms of dopaminergic genes do not play a relevant role in the development of ICD in PD suggesting that ICD originate from inability to filter inappropriate behaviors triggered by dopaminaergic therapy.

Impulse Control and Related Disorders in Parkinson's Disease.

TL;DR: It is critical for patients to be monitored closely for impulse control disorders from disease onset and routine throughout its course, and as empirically validated treatments for ICDs and similar disorders emerge, it will also be important to examine their efficacy and tolerability in individuals with comorbid PD.

Dopamine Agonists and Impulse Control Disorders: A Complex Association.

TL;DR: It is suggested that DAA use is associated with an increased risk in the occurrence of an ICD, under the combined influence of various factors.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

Human catechol-O-methyltransferase pharmacogenetics: description of a functional polymorphism and its potential application to neuropsychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: The identification of a gentic marker associated with significant alterations in enzyme activity will facilitate the analysis of a possible role for the COMT gene in neuropsychiatric conditions in which abnormalities in catecholamine neurotransmission are believed to occur.
