National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Repository Parkinson's Disease Collection


ABSTRACT:

The NINDS repository was established in October 2001 with the goal of developing standardized, broadly useful diagnostic and other clinical data, as well as a collection of DNA and cell line samples to further advance gene discovery of neurological disorders. All samples and both phenotypic and genotypic data are available to the research community including academic and industry scientists. This collection includes thousands of samples and associated phenotypic data sets from individuals with Parkinsonism, including Parkinson's disease (PD).

Epidemiological studies have shown an estimated cumulative prevalence of PD of greater than 1 per thousand. When prevalence is limited to senior populations, this proportion increases nearly 10-fold. The estimated genetic risk ratio for PD is approximately 1.7 (70% increased risk for PD if a sibling has PD) for all ages, and increases over 7-fold for those under age 66 years. The role for genes contributing to the risk of PD is therefore significant.

A subset of subjects from the collection of North American Caucasians with Parkinson's disease was utilized in the NINDS Parkinson's Disease study.

The recent hapmap effort has placed focus on the application of genome-wide SNP analysis to assess the contribution of genetic variability, particularly SNPs, to traits such as disease. Here, we describe the utility of genome-wide SNP analysis in the direct detection of extended homozygosity and structural genomic variation. We use this approach to assess the frequency of genomic alterations resulting from the lymphoblast immortalization and culture processes commonly used in cell repositories.  ...[more]
