Association of body mass index and Parkinson disease
Domenighetti, Cloé; Sugier, Pierre-Emmanuel; Ashok Kumar Sreelatha, Ashwin; Schulte, Claudia; Grover, Sandeep; Portugal, Berta; Lee, Pei-ChenBackground and objectives: The role of body mass index (BMI) in Parkinson disease (PD) is unclear. Based on the Comprehensive Unbiased Risk Factor Assessment for Genetics and Environment in PD (Courage-PD) consortium, we used 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to replicate a previously reported inverse association of genetically predicted BMI with PD and investigated whether findings were robust in analyses ...
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...
Defining the riddle in order to solve it: there is more than one “Parkinson's d...
Outeiro, Tiago; Alcalay, Roy N.; Antonini, Angelo; Attems, Johannes; Bonifati, Vincenzo; Cardoso, Francisco; Chesselet, Marie‐Françoise; Hardy, JohnBackground: More than 200 years after James Parkinsondescribed a clinical syndrome based on his astute observations, Parkinson's disease (PD) has evolved into a complex entity, akin to the heterogeneity of other complex human syndromes of the central nervous system such as dementia, motor neuron disease, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy. Clinicians, pathologists, and basic science researchers evolved arrange of...
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...
Clinical rating scale for pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration: A p...
Darling, Alejandra; Tello, Cristina; Martí, María Josep; Garrido, Cristina; Aguilera-Albesa, Sergio; Tomás Vila, Miguel; Gastón, Itziar; Madruga, MarcosPantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration is a progressive neurological disorder occurring in both childhood and adulthood. The objective of this study was to design and pilot-test a disease-specific clinical rating scale for the assessment of patients with pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration.
