Embracing monogenic Parkinson's disease: the MJFF Global Genetic PD Cohort
Vollstedt, Eva‐Juliane; Schaake, Susen; Lohmann, Katja; Padmanabhan, Shalini; Brice, Alexis; Lesage, Suzanne; Tesson, Christelle; Vidailhet, MarieBackground: As gene-targeted therapies are increasingly being developed for Parkinson's disease (PD), identifying and characterizing carriers of specific genetic pathogenic variants is imperative. Only a small fraction of the estimated number of subjects with monogenic PD worldwide are currently represented in the literature and availability of clinical data and clinical trial-ready cohorts is limited. Objectiv...
Dairy intake and Parkinson's disease: a Mendelian randomization study
Domenighetti, Cloé; Sugier, Pierre‐Emmanuel; Ashok Kumar Sreelatha, Ashwin; Schulte, Claudia; Grover, Sandeep; Mohamed, Océane; Portugal, BertaBackground: Previous prospective studies highlighted dairy intake as a risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in men. It is unclear whether this association is causal or explained by reverse causation or confounding. Objective: The aim is to examine the association between genetically predicted dairy intake and PD using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods: We genotyped a well-establ...
The Parkinson's-disease-associated mutation LRRK2-G2019S alters dopaminergic di...
Walter, Jonas; Bolognin, Silvia; Poovathingal, Suresh K.; Magni, Stefano; Gérard, Deborah; Antony, Paul M. A.; Nickels, Sarah L.; Salamanca, LuisIncreasing evidence suggests that neurodevelopmental alterations might contribute to increase the susceptibility to develop neurodegenerative diseases. We investigate the occurrence of developmental abnormalities in dopaminergic neurons in a model of Parkinson's disease (PD). We monitor the differentiation of human patient-specific neuroepithelial stem cells (NESCs) into dopaminergic neurons. Using high-through...
