Association between cardiac denervation and parkinsonism caused by alpha-synuclein gene triplication.
Parkinson's disease patients frequently have symptoms and signs of autonomic nervous dysfunction that are the source of considerable disability. Recent studies have revealed that most patients with Parkinson's disease, and all with Parkinson's disease-associated orthostatic hypotension, have a loss of cardiac sympathetic innervation. Familial Parkinson's disease, caused by mutation of the gene ...
متن کاملAssociation between HLA gene polymorphism and cutaneous adverse reactions caused by antiepileptic drugs
The association between cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs) caused by antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and human leukocyte antigen-A (HLA-A) and HLA-B genes in Chinese Han population in Shanghai was investigated. Through the case-control study, 30 child patients with AED-induced cADRs (cADRs group), 60 AED-tolerant child patients (AED-tolerant group) and 60 normal children not taking AEDs (norma...
متن کاملAssociation between serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms and depressed mood caused by job stress in Japanese workers.
To estimate the genetic factors influencing depressed mood caused by job stress, a total of 243 employees at a manufacturing company and a local hospital in Japan (mean age 40.8+/-10.3 years) were recruited with informed consent. The Brief Job Stress Questionnaire was used to assess the present status of stress. Alcohol consumption and smoking were assessed as lifestyle factors. DNA samples wer...
متن کاملAssociation study between schizophrenia and the DISC1 gene polymorphism
Abstract Background: The disrupted-in-schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) gene, on the chromosome position 1q42, was initially identified at the breakpoint of a balanced translocation, t(1,11)(q42.1q14.3), which segregated with major mental disorders in a large Scottish family. Methods: Our samples included 200 unrelated patients diagnosed with Schizophrenia on the basis of DSM-IV criteria an...
متن کاملNigrostriatal Dopaminergic Deficits and Hypokinesia Caused by Inactivation of the Familial Parkinsonism-Linked Gene DJ-1
The manifestations of Parkinson's disease are caused by reduced dopaminergic innervation of the striatum. Loss-of-function mutations in the DJ-1 gene cause early-onset familial parkinsonism. To investigate a possible role for DJ-1 in the dopaminergic system, we generated a mouse model bearing a germline disruption of DJ-1. Although DJ-1(-/-) mice had normal numbers of dopaminergic neurons in th...
