A chromosome 4p haplotype segregating with Parkinson's disease and postural tremor.

چکیده
We investigated a large family with levodopa-responsive, Lewy body parkinsonism in which the disease segregates as an apparent autosomal dominant trait. After performing a genome screen, we identified a chromosome 4p haplotype that segregates with the disease. However, this haplotype also occurs in individuals in the pedigree who do not have clinical Lewy body parkinsonism but rather suffer from postural tremor, consistent with essential tremor. These data demonstrate a new locus for Lewy body parkinsonism and suggest that in some circumstances postural tremor can be an alternative phenotype of the samepathogenic mutation as Lewy body parkinsonism.

Mutation Analysis of HTRA2 Gene in Chinese Familial Essential Tremor and Familial Parkinson's Disease
Background. HTRA2 has already been nominated as PARK13 which may cause Parkinson's disease, though there are still discrepancies among these results. Recently, Gulsuner et al.'s study found that HTRA2 p.G399S is responsible for hereditary essential tremor and homozygotes of this allele develop Parkinson's disease by examining a six-generation family segregating essential tremor and essential tr...
متن کاملEffects of subthalamic nucleus stimulation and medication on resting and postural tremor in Parkinson's disease.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and antiparkinsonian medication have proved to be effective treatments for tremor in Parkinson's disease. To date it is not known how and to what extent STN DBS alone and in combination with antiparkinsonian medication alters the pathophysiology of resting and postural tremor in idiopathic Parkinson's disease. The purpose of this stu...
متن کاملQuantification of Parkinson Tremor Intensity Based On EMG Signal Analysis Using Fast Orthogonal Search Algorithm
The tremor injury is one of the common symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The patients suffering from Parkinson's disease have difficulty in controlling their movements owing to tremor. The intensity of the disease can be determined through specifying the range of intensity values of involuntary tremor in Parkinson patients. The level of disease in patients is determined through an empirical rang...
متن کاملExacerbation of postural tremor with emergence of parkinsonism after treatment with neuroleptic drugs.
Neuroleptic medication in three patients with prior isolated postural arm tremor led to a conspicuous deterioration; the postural tremor increased in amplitude, tremor appeared at rest, and other signs of mild parkinsonism developed. Withdrawal of neuroleptic drugs led to improvement in tremor and disappearance of parkinsonism. Positron emission tomography showed no reduction in uptake of [18F]...
متن کاملOptimal design of a vibration absorber for tremor control of arm in Parkinson's disease
Because the underlying physiology of pathological tremor in a Parkinson's patient is not well understood, the existing physical and drug therapies have not been successful in tremor treatment. Different mathematical modeling of such vibration has been introduced to investigate the problem and reduce the existing vibration. Most of the models have represented the induced vibration as a sinusoida...
