Lewy Body Pathology and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Associated With Contact Sports

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in Athletes Involved with High-impact Sports.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease occurring most commonly in athletes and is caused by repeated concussive or subconcussive blows to the head. The main purpose of this review is to evaluate the published literature on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in athletes participating in high-impact sports. In particular, we highlight the ...

PINK1-linked parkinsonism is associated with Lewy body pathology.

Phosphatase and tensin homolog-induced putative kinase 1 gene mutations have been associated with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease. To date, no neuropathological reports have been published from patients with Parkinson's disease with both phosphatase and tensin homolog-induced putative kinase 1 gene copies mutated. We analysed the coding region of phosphatase and tensin homol...
